Oligonucleotides including C-nucleotides having 1-substitued 1H-1,2,3-triazoles as artificial nucleobases were conveniently synthesized by the post-elongation modification method using the copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. The base-pairing properties of the triazole nucleobase analogs in forming duplexes with oligonucleotides were investigated by the T(m) experiments.

The widespread use of thiamethoxam has led to pesticide residues that have sparked global concerns regarding ecological and human health risks. A pressing requirement exists for a detection method that is both swift and sensitive. Herein, we introduced an innovative fluorescence biosensor constructed from alendronic acid (ADA)-modified upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) linked with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) via aptamer recognition for the detection of thiamethoxam.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a fundamental biomacromolecule in living organisms, serves as the carrier of genetic information. Beyond its role in encoding biological functions, DNA's inherent ability to hybridize through base pairing has opened new avenues for its application in biological sciences. This review introduces DNA nanotechnology and DNA-encoded library (DEL), and highlights their shared design principles related to DNA assembly.

Modified nucleosides are vital in mRNA vaccines. We developed a contracted uridine analog, N1-hydantoinyl-ribose, HR, using steric shields to invert the regioselectivity of the classic Vorbrüggen reaction. We report synthetic routes and explore HR features such as acidity, stability, base pairing/stacking, and crystal/solution conformation compared to uridine.

Artificially synthesized DNA holds significant promise in addressing fundamental biochemical questions and driving advancements in biotechnology, genetics, and DNA digital data storage. Rapid and precise electric identification of these artificial DNA strands is crucial for their effective application. Herein, we present a comprehensive investigation into the electric recognition of eight artificial synthesized DNA (DNA and DNA) nucleobases using quantum tunneling transport and machine learning (ML) techniques.

We have previously found that the presence of an H-type excitonic dimer formed by two fluorophores covalently bound to an oligonucleotide allows the delivery of such a polymer into live cells without inducing toxicity. We are now using time-resolved fluorescence measurements in solution to understand the molecular dynamics of an antisense probe and how pairing with complementary sense strands of various lengths and degrees of complementarity affects the antisense strand's properties. We report that a DNA strand composed of 30 residues and labeled with an H-type excitonic Cyanine-5/Cyanine-5 dimer shows a predominant 1.
