title: Chimeric GNA/DNA metal-mediated base pairs.
abstract: DNA double helices comprising chimeric GNA/DNA metal-mediated base pairs have been synthesized and characterized (GNA = glycol nucleic acid). The possibility to combine different nucleic acid backbones within one metal-mediated base pair expands the applicability of metal-functionalized nucleic acids.
