A METHOD FOR THE SITE-SPECIFIC ENZYMATIC LABELLING OF NUCLEIC ACIDS IN VITRO BY INCORPORATION OF UNNATURAL NUCLEOTIDES

, (2015/02/25)
Provided herein are analogs of unnatural nucleotides bearing predominantly hydrophobic nucleobase analogs that form unnatural base pairs during DNA polymerase- mediated replication of DNA or RNA polymerase-mediated transcription of RNA. In this manner, the unnatural nucleobases can be introduced in a site-specific way into oligonucleotides (single or double stranded DNA or RNA), where they can provide for site-specific cleavage, or can provide a reactive linker than can undergo functionalization with a cargo -bearing reagent by means of reaction with a primary amino group or by means of click chemistry with an alkyne group of the unnatural nucleobase linker.
