Abstract
Extension, please ! A non-enzymatic DNA-template-directed synthesis approach has been developed that allows the morpholino-nucleoside extension of a PNA primer. Equilibration of the ribonucleosides with the template-primer complex, in a noncovalent fashion (see scheme), was shown to be essential for high selectivity. It is envisaged that this chemistry might be used to transcribe nature's genetic material into alternative abiological polymers. (Chemical Equation Representation). © 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
