title: Synthesis of DNA duplexes containing complexes of 5-modified pyrimidine bases and metal ions.
abstract: DNA duplexes carrying metal ions at the 5-position of uracil residues were synthesized by mixing oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) containing 5-formyl uracils, metal ions, and amines. A metal ion binding site may form from the 5-formyl residue and amines.
