Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00075a002

Enantio-DNAs (DNA having 2-deoxy-L-erythro-pentose, the enantiomer of natural 2-deoxy-D-ribose, as the sugar backbone) and meso-DNAs (DNA having an alternating sequence of L-sugars and D-sugars) were prepared by the use of an automated DNA synthesizer. Th
