The first chemical synthesis of boronic acid-modified DNA through a copper-free click reaction

Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 Mar 28;47(12):3598-600. doi: 10.1039/c0cc04546b. Epub 2011 Feb 8.

Abstract

The first chemical incorporation of the boronic acid group into DNA using a copper-free click reagent was reported. Compared with the PCR-based method, this approach allows for site-specific incorporation and synthesis on a larger scale.
