Journal of the American Chemical Society, 130(14), 4646–4659.

By: R. Kleiner*, Y. Brudno*, M. Birnbaum* & D. Liu*

MeSH headings : Aldehydes / chemical synthesis; Aldehydes / chemistry; DNA / chemical synthesis; DNA / chemistry; Kinetics; Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy; Molecular Conformation; Nucleic Acid Conformation; Peptide Nucleic Acids / chemistry; Polymers / chemical synthesis; Spectrometry, Mass, Electrospray Ionization
TL;DR: The findings represent a significant step toward the evolution of sequence-defined synthetic polymers and also demonstrate that enzyme-free nucleic acid-templated polymerization can occur efficiently using substrates with a wide range of side-chain structures, functionalization positions within each building block, and functionalization densities.
