Small Circular Oligodeoxynucleotides Achieved from Self-Assembling Entities

Self‐recognition rather than complementarity defines the self‐assembly (a) of two cytosine‐rich oligodeoxynucleotides in the compact i‐motif shown (CC+ base pairs, dark circles). When the 5′‐terminal phosphate is activated, phosphodiester bonds form between the termini of the linear sequences, resu...

Zusammenfassung:Self‐recognition rather than complementarity defines the self‐assembly (a) of two cytosine‐rich oligodeoxynucleotides in the compact i‐motif shown (CC+ base pairs, dark circles). When the 5′‐terminal phosphate is activated, phosphodiester bonds form between the termini of the linear sequences, resulting in two circular oligodeoxynucleotides (b), which disassociate on denaturation (c).
