RNA and DNA replication, coupled with prebiotic co‐synthesis of deoxyribo‐ and ribo‐nucleotides, have resurrected the hypothesis of co‐emergence of RNA and DNA. As further support, we show that diamidophosphate (DAP) with 2‐aminoimidazole (amido)phosphorylates and oligomerizes deoxynucleosides to form DNA—under conditions similar to those of ribonucleosides. The pyrimidine deoxynucleoside 5′‐O‐amidophosphates
最近展示的 RNA-DNA 嵌合体 (RDNA) 使 RNA 和 DNA 复制成为可能,再加上脱氧核糖和核糖核苷酸的益生元共合成,重新提出了 RNA 和 DNA 共生的假设。作为进一步的支持,我们表明二酰胺磷酸酯 (DAP) 与 2-氨基咪唑(酰胺基)磷酸化并寡聚化脱氧核苷以形成 DNA——在与核糖核苷相似的条件下。嘧啶脱氧核苷 5'-O-氨基磷酸酯以良好的 (≈60%) 产率形成。有趣的是,嘧啶脱氧核苷(酸)苷的存在增加了嘌呤脱氧核苷酸的产量(≈20%)。同时,观察到寡聚化 (≈18–31%) 主要是 3',5'-磷酸二酯 DNA 键和一些 (<5%) 焦磷酸盐。
