title: Photochemical synthesis of R-shaped DNA via 5-cyanovinyldeoxyuridine.
abstract: We now report template-directed photoligation using ODN containing alpha(C)U and beta(C)U at both terminal ends. By using this method, we performed template-directed photoligation in two positions at the middle of DNA and synthesized R-shaped DNA as novel structure. The isolated R-shaped DNA was characterized by MALDI-TOF MS and enzymatic digestion.
