Genetic Alphabet Expansion Provides Versatile Specificities and Activities of Unnatural-Base DNA Aptamers Targeting Cancer Cells
The potential of genetic alphabet expansion technologies using artificial extra base pairs (unnatural base pairs) has been rapidly expanding and increasing. We present that the hydrophobic unnatural base, 7-(2-thienyl)imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (Ds), which acts as a fifth letter in a DNA library, provid...
