Abstract

Abstract : DNA Structure Mimics In their Full Paper on page 15974 ff., H. Asanuma, H. Kashida et al. report the characterization of a novel hetero‐selective DNA‐like duplex of pyrene and anthraquinone pseudo base pairs. Pyrene and anthraquinone moieties were tethered on acyclic D‐threoninol linkers and linked to adjacent residues using standard phosphoramidite chemistry. A pyrene hexamer and an anthraquinone hexamer formed a stable artificial hetero‐duplex without the assistance of natural base pairs.
