title: A Novel 5'-Iodonucleoside Allows Efficient Nonenzymatic Ligation of Single-stranded and Duplex DNAs.
abstract: A new iodothymidine phosphoramidite enables the placement of a 5'-iodide into oligonucleotides; the iodide is stable to ammonia deprotection and allows nonenzymatic ligations of DNA.
