Abstract;In this paper, we report novel approaches to reconstruct DNAs as functionalized molecules by means of metal complexation. First, novel artificial .BETA.-C-nucleosides bearing a chelator nucleobase have been synthesized. These artificial nucleobases were introduced to oligonucleotides for alternative base pairing through metal coordination instead of the hydrogen bonding in natural DNA. Secondly, a chelator-type adenine mimic, which has two metal binding sites, was synthesized. Its single-stranded ZnII coordination polymer interacted with a DNA oligomer, dT70 and showed the temperature-dependent hyperchromic effect. (author abst.)
