D. Loakes et al., ENZYMATIC RECOGNITION OF ACYCLIC UNIVERSAL BASE ANALOGS IN OLIGONUCLEOTIDES, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 15(11-12), 1996, pp. 1891-1904
The effects of the acyclic analogues 3 and 4 on recognition by commonl
y used enzymes in recombinant DNA work have been investigated. This re
port shows that acyclic sugars can function in place of the normal 2'-
deoxyribose moiety with some enzymes, expanding the range of possible
manipulations.
