This invention is for a new molecular recognition system, where DNA-like molecules comprising segments built from nucleotides that carry only a small which comprises process by which one molecule interacts with a specific second molecule, or by which a portion of a single molecule interacts specifically with another portion of the same molecule. Further, this invention relates to molecular recognition that follows simple rules. Further, this invention relates to molecular systems that are linear biopolymers that are analogs of DNA and RNA, in that they are built from a small set of building blocks that are linked together by phosphate groups, where the building blocks comprise a sugar (ribose, 2′-deoxyribose, or an analog) attached to a heterocycle. The molecular recognition that they display differs from that displayed by DNA and RNA, in that the rules governing molecular recognition break the rules of size complementarity followed in molecular recognition displayed between and within strands of DNA and RNA.
该发明是一种新的分子识别系统,其中包括由核苷酸构建的片段组成的类似于DNA的分子,这些核苷酸只携带很小的一部分,其中包括一种分子与特定的第二种分子相互作用的过程,或者单个分子的一部分与同一分子的另一部分特异性地相互作用的过程。此外,该发明涉及遵循简单规则的分子识别。此外,该发明涉及线性
生物聚合物的分子系统,这些聚合物类似于DNA和RNA,因为它们是由一小组建筑块组成的,这些建筑块由
磷酸基连接在一起,其中建筑块包括连接在杂环上的糖(
核糖,2'-去氧
核糖或类似物)。它们展示的分子识别与DNA和RNA展示的不同,因为规则违反了在DNA和RNA链之间和内部展示的分子识别中遵循的大小互补规则。
