Hexitol nucleic acid (HNA) is an analogue of DNA containing the standard nucleoside bases, but with a phosphorylated 1,5-anhydrohexitol backbone. HNA oligomers form duplexes having the nucleic acid A structure with complementary DNA or RNA oligomers. The HNA decacytidylate oligomer is an efficient template for the oligomerization of the 5'-phosphoroimidazolides of guanosine or deoxyguanosine. Comparison of the oligomerization efficiencies on HNA, RNA, and DNA decacytidylate templates under various conditions suggests strongly that only nucleic acid double helices with the A structure support efficient template-directed synthesis when 5'-phosphoroimidazolides of nucleosides are used as substrates.
己糖醇核酸(HNA)是一种DNA类似物,含有标准核苷碱基,但具有磷酸化的1,5-脱水己糖醇主链。HNA寡聚物与互补的DNA或RNA寡聚物形成具有核酸A结构的双链体。HNA十聚胞苷酸寡聚物是鸟苷或脱氧鸟苷的5'-磷酰咪唑化物寡聚化的有效模板。在各种条件下对HNA、RNA和DNA十聚胞苷酸模板上的寡聚化效率进行比较,结果有力地表明,当使用核苷的5'-磷酰咪唑化物作为底物时,只有具有A结构的核酸双螺旋支持有效的模板导向合成。
