Abstract
Nucleic acid aptamers for small molecules are currently being developed and have a potential role in diverse applications including biosensing, diagnostics, and therapeutics involving low-molecular-weight biomarkers and drugs. To enhance and broaden their functions through chemical modification, systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) selection has been attempted with modified DNA/RNA libraries. Recently, we demonstrated the superior efficacy of base modification for affinity enhancement and the usefulness of unnatural nucleic acid libraries for development of small-molecule aptamers. In this unit, we describe construction of a modified DNA library that includes (E)-5-(2-(N-(2-(N(6) -adeninyl)ethyl))carbamylvinyl)uracil bases and acquisition of high-affinity camptothecin-binding DNA aptamers, in addition to those of the corresponding natural DNA library and aptamers, using the SELEX method. © 2016 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract
Among wide applications of nucleotide analogs, their roles in enzyme catalytic reactions are significant in both fundamental and medical researches. By introducing analogs into circular templates, we succeeded in determining effects of four analogs on RCA efficiency for three different DNA polymerases. Results showed an obvious suppression effect for 2'-OMeRNA modification, which might be due to the size of the C2'-modified moieties. 2'-F RNA, LNA and PS had little interference, suggesting good analog candidates for application in RCA. Different polymerases and nucleobases made a little difference according to analogs we used. These results are useful for understanding polymerase catalytic mechanism and analogs applications in RCA reaction.

Abstract
The DNA polymerase-catalyzed incorporation of modified nucleotides is employed in many biological technologies of prime importance, such as next-generation sequencing, nucleic acid-based diagnostics, transcription analysis, and aptamer selection by systematic enrichment of ligands by exponential amplification (SELEX). Recent studies have shown that 2'-deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) that are functionalized with modifications at the nucleobase such as dyes, affinity tags, spin and redox labels, or even oligonucleotides are substrates for DNA polymerases, even if modifications of high steric demand are used. The position at which the modification is introduced in the nucleotide has been identified as crucial for retaining substrate activity for DNA polymerases. Modifications are usually attached at the C5 position of pyrimidines and the C7 position of 7-deazapurines. Furthermore, it has been shown that the nature of the modification may impact the efficiency of incorporation of a modified nucleotide into the nascent DNA strand by a DNA polymerase. This Account places functional data obtained in studies of the incorporation of modified nucleotides by DNA polymerases in the context of recently obtained structural data. Crystal structure analysis of a Thermus aquaticus (Taq) DNA polymerase variant (namely, KlenTaq DNA polymerase) in ternary complex with primer-template DNA and several modified nucleotides provided the first structural insights into how nucleobase-modified triphosphates are tolerated. We found that bulky modifications are processed by KlenTaq DNA polymerase as a result of cavities in the protein that enable the modification to extend outside the active site. In addition, we found that the enzyme is able to adapt to different modifications in a flexible manner and adopts different amino acid side-chain conformations at the active site depending on the nature of the nucleotide modification. Different "strategies" (i.e., hydrogen bonding, cation-π interactions) enable the protein to stabilize the respective protein-substrate complex without significantly changing the overall structure of the complex. Interestingly, it was also discovered that a modified nucleotide may be more efficiently processed by KlenTaq DNA polymerase when the 3'-primer terminus is also a modified nucleotide instead of a nonmodified natural one. Indeed, the modifications of two modified nucleotides at adjacent positions can interact with each other (i.e., by π-π interactions) and thereby stabilize the enzyme-substrate complex, resulting in more efficient transformation. Several studies have indicated that archeal DNA polymerases belonging to sequence family B are better suited for the incorporation of nucleobase-modified nucleotides than enzymes from family A. However, significantly less structural data are available for family B DNA polymerases. In order to gain insights into the preference for modified substrates by members of family B, we succeeded in obtaining binary structures of 9°N and KOD DNA polymerases bound to primer-template DNA. We found that the major groove of the archeal family B DNA polymerases is better accessible than in family A DNA polymerases. This might explain the observed superiority of family B DNA polymerases in polymerizing nucleotides that bear bulky modifications located in the major groove, such as modification at C5 of pyrimidines and C7 of 7-deazapurines. Overall, this Account summarizes our recent findings providing structural insight into the mechanism by which modified nucleotides are processed by DNA polymerases. It provides guidelines for the design of modified nucleotides, thus supporting future efforts based on the acceptance of modified nucleotides by DNA polymerases.

Abstract
Recently, 7-substituted 7-deazapurine nucleoside triphosphates and 5-substituted pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphates (dN(am)TPs) were synthesized to extend enzymatically using commercially available polymerase. However, extension was limited when we attempted to incorporate the substrates consecutively. To address this, we have produced a mutant polymerase that can efficiently accept the modified nucleotide with amphiphilic groups as substrates. Here we show that the KOD polymerase mutant, KOD exo(-)/A485L, had the ability to incorporate dN(am)TP continuously over 50nt, indicating that the mutant is sufficient for generating functional nucleic acid molecules.

Abstract
To expand the chemical functionality of DNAzymes and aptamers, several new modified deoxyuridine triphosphates have been synthesized. An important precursor that enables this aim is 5-aminomethyl dUTP, whereby the pendent amine serves as a handle for further synthetic functionalization. Five functional groups were conjugated to 5-aminomethyl dUTP. Incorporation assays were performed on several templates that demand 2-5 sequential incorporation events using several commercially available DNA polymerases. It was found that Vent (exo-) DNA polymerase efficiently incorporates all five modified dUTPs. In addition, all nucleoside triphosphates were capable of supporting a double-stranded exponential PCR amplification. Modified PCR amplicons were PCR amplified into unmodified DNA and sequenced to verify that genetic information was conserved through incorporation, amplification, and reamplification. Overall these modified dUTPs represent new candidate substrates for use in selections using modified nucleotide libraries.

An efficient overall two-step strategy for the synthesis of (E)-5-aminoallyl-pyrimidine-5'-triphoshate, starting from commercially available pyrimidine-5'-triphosphate is described. The method involves regioselective iodination of pyrimidine-5'-triphosphate, followed by the palladium-catalyzed Heck coupling with allylamine. The catalytic reaction is highly stereoselective and compatible with many functional groups present in the reactants.

Abstract
Here, we describe the enzymatic construction of a new larger base pair formed between adenine (A) and a 4-hydroxy-2-mercaptobenzimidazole (SB) nucleobase analogue. We investigated the enzymatic incorporation of 2'-deoxynucleoside-5'-triphosphate bearing a SB nucleobase analogue (dSBTP) into oligonucleotides (ONs) by DNA polymerases. dSBTP could be effectively incorporated at the site opposite a dA in a DNA template by several B family DNA polymerases. These findings provide new insights into various aspects of biotechnology, including the design of non-natural base pairs.

Abstract
We describe a simple and convenient method for the preparation of photoresponsive DNA-modified electrodes using primer extension (PEX) reactions. A naphthalimide derivative was used as the photosensitizer that was attached to the C5-position of 2'-deoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate (dUTP(NI)). It has been found that dUTP(NI) is a good substrate for the PEX reactions using KOD Dash and Vent (exo-) enzymes in solutions to incorporate naphthalimide (NI) moieties into the DNA sequences. On the electrode surface immobilized with the primer/template DNA, the PEX reactions to incorporate dUTP(NI) molecules into the DNA sequence were found to efficiently proceed. With this solid-phase method, the DNA monolayers capable of generating photocurrent due to the photoresponsive NI molecule can be constructed. It was shown that the photocurrent generation was significantly suppressed by a single-nucleotide mismatch included in the primer/template DNA, which is applicable for the design of photoelectrochemical sensors to discriminate single-nucleotide sequences.

Abstract
Post-synthesis DNA modification is a very useful method for DNA functionalization. This is achieved by using a modified NTP, which has a handle for further modifications, replacing the corresponding natural NTP in polymerase-catalyzed DNA synthesis. Subsequently, the handle can be used for further functionalization after PCR, preferably through a very fast reaction. Herein we describe polymerase-mediated incorporation of trans-cyclooctene modified thymidine triphosphate (TCO-TTP). Subsequently, the trans-cyclooctene group was reacted with a tetrazine tethered to other functional groups through a very fast click reaction. The utility of this DNA functionalization method was demonstrated with the incorporation of a boronic acid group and a fluorophore. The same approach was also successfully used in modifying a known aptamer for fluorescent labelling applications.

Abstract
The predictable 3D structure of double-stranded DNA renders it ideally suited as a template for the bottom-up design of functionalized nucleic acid-based active sites. We here explore the use of a 14mer DNA duplex as a scaffold for the precise and predictable positioning of catalytic functionalities. Given the ubiquitous participation of the histidine-based imidazole group in protein recognition and catalysis events, single histidine-like modified duplexes were investigated. Tethering histamine to the C5 of the thymine base via an amide bond, allows the flexible positioning of the imidazole function in the major groove. The mutual interactions between the imidazole and the duplex and its influence on the imidazolium pKaH are investigated by placing a single modified thymine at four different positions in the center of the 14mer double helix. Using NMR and unrestrained molecular dynamics, a structural motif involving the formation of a hydrogen bond between the imidazole and the Hoogsteen side of the guanine bases of two neighboring GC base pairs is established. The motif contributes to a stabilization against thermal melting of 6°C and is key in modulating the pKaH of the imidazolium group. The general features, prerequisites and generic character of the new pKaH-regulating motif are described.

Abstract
Modified oligodeoxyribonucleotides (mdODNs) bearing multiple copies of an amphiphilic functional group were enzymatically synthesized by simultaneous incorporation of base-modified 5'-triphosphate analogs of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG(am)TP), 2'-deoxyuridine (dU(am)TP), 2'-deoxyadenosine (dA(am)TP), and 2'-deoxycytosine (dC(am)TP). The amphiphilic functionality, that is, (E)-38,53-dioxo-2,5,8,11,14,17,20,23,26,29,32,35-dodecaoxa-39,52-diazapentapentacont-54-en-55-yl group, consists of the water soluble dodeca(ethylene glycol) chain and the hydrophobic dodecyl chain. An enzymatically synthesized ODN, composed of a 20-mer 5'-terminal segment containing 2'-O,4'-C-methylene-bridged/linked bicyclic ribonucleotide (B/L nucleotide) and a 12-mer 3'-terminal segment containing the nucleobase-modified analogs, exhibits very high resistance against phosphodiesterase I and is stable in human serum for a longer period when compared with ODN, where the 12-mer 3'-terminal segment contains unmodified nucleotides.

Abstract
Functionalized oligonucleotides have recently gained increased attention for incorporation in modified nucleic acid structures both for the design of aptamers with enhanced binding properties as well as the construction of catalytic DNA and RNA. As a shortcut alternative to the incorporation of multiple modified residues, each bearing one extra functional group, we present here a straightforward method for direct linking of functionalized amino acids to the nucleoside base, thus equipping the nucleoside with two extra functionalities at once. As a proof of principle, we have introduced three amino acids with functional groups frequently used as key-intermediates in DNA- and RNAzymes via an efficient and straightforward domino carboxamidation reaction.

The synthesis of 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) either by classical triphosphorylation of nucleosides or by aqueous cross-coupling reactions of halogenated dNTPs is discussed. Different enzymatic methods for synthesis of modified oligonucleotides and DNA by polymerase incorporation of modified nucleotides are summarized, and the applications in redox or fluorescent labeling, as well as in bioconjugations and modulation of interactions of DNA with proteins, are outlined.

Abstract
DNA molecules containing 5-vinyluracil, 5-vinylcytosine, or 7-deaza-7-vinyladenine were prepared by polymerase incorporation of the corresponding vinyl-modified 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates, and the influence of the vinyl group in the major groove of DNA on the cleavage by diverse type II restriction endonucleases (REs) was studied. The presence of 5-vinyluracil was tolerated by most of the REs, whereas only some REs were able to cleave sequences containing 7-deaza-7-vinyladenine. The enzyme ScaI was found to cleave DNA containing 5-vinylcytosine efficiently but not DNA containing the related 5-ethynylcytosine. All other REs failed to cleave sequences containing any cytosine modifications.

Abstract
The identification of nucleic acid aptamers would be advanced if they could be obtained after fewer rounds of selection and amplification. In this paper the identification of bivalent aptamers for thrombin by SELEX and single-step selection are compared using next generation sequencing and motif finding informatics. Results show that similar aptamers are identified by both methods. This is significant because it shows that next generation sequencing and motif finding informatics have the potential to simplify the selection of aptamers by avoiding multiple rounds of enzymatic transcription and amplification.

Abstract
Recently, we achieved the first in vitro selection of 2'-O,4'-C-methylene bridged/locked nucleic acid (2',4'-BNA/LNA) aptamers. High-affinity thrombin-binding aptamers (TBAs) were obtained from DNA-based libraries containing 2'-O,4'-C-methylene-bridged/linked bicyclic ribonucleotides (B/L nucleotides) in the 5'-primer region, using the method of capillary electrophoresis systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (CE-SELEX). Furthermore, a similar selection protocol could provide TBAs that contain B/L nucleotides in both primer and random regions. We review technical challenges involved in the generation of various BNA libraries using analogs of B/L nucleoside-5'-triphosphate and polymerase variants and also discuss applications of these libraries to the selection of BNA (LNA) aptamers, as well as future prospects for their therapeutic and diagnostic uses.

Abstract
Most archaea and bacteria use a modified C in the anticodon wobble position of isoleucine tRNA to base pair with A but not with G of the mRNA. This allows the tRNA to read the isoleucine codon AUA without also reading the methionine codon AUG. To understand why a modified C, and not U or modified U, is used to base pair with A, we mutated the C34 in the anticodon of Haloarcula marismortui isoleucine tRNA (tRNA2(Ile)) to U, expressed the mutant tRNA in Haloferax volcanii, and purified and analyzed the tRNA. Ribosome binding experiments show that although the wild-type tRNA2(Ile) binds exclusively to the isoleucine codon AUA, the mutant tRNA binds not only to AUA but also to AUU, another isoleucine codon, and to AUG, a methionine codon. The G34 to U mutant in the anticodon of another H. marismortui isoleucine tRNA species showed similar codon binding properties. Binding of the mutant tRNA to AUG could lead to misreading of the AUG codon and insertion of isoleucine in place of methionine. This result would explain why most archaea and bacteria do not normally use U or a modified U in the anticodon wobble position of isoleucine tRNA for reading the codon AUA. Biochemical and mass spectrometric analyses of the mutant tRNAs have led to the discovery of a new modified nucleoside, 5-cyanomethyl U in the anticodon wobble position of the mutant tRNAs. 5-Cyanomethyl U is present in total tRNAs from euryarchaea but not in crenarchaea, eubacteria, or eukaryotes.

Abstract
Aqueous-phase Heck coupling methodology was developed for direct attachment of butyl acrylate to 5-iodoracil, 5-iodocytosine, 7-iodo-7-deazaadenine, and 7-iodo-7-deazaguanine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-O-monophosphates (dNMPs) and 5'-O-triphosphates (dNTPs) and compared with the classical approach of phosphorylation of the corresponding modified nucleosides. The 7-substituted 7-deazapurine nucleotides (dA(BA)MP, dA(BA)TP, dG(BA)MP, and dG(BA)TP) were prepared by the direct Heck coupling of nucleotides in good yields (35-55%), whereas the pyrimidine nucleotides reacted poorly and the corresponding BA-modified dNTPs were prepared by triphosphorylation of the modified nucleosides. The acrylate-modified dN(BA)TPs (N = A, C, and U) were good substrates for DNA polymerases and were used for enzymatic synthesis of acrylate-modified DNA by primer extension, whereas dG(BA)TP was an inhibitor of polymerases. The butyl acrylate group was found to be a useful redox label giving a strong reduction peak at -1.3 to -1.4 V in cyclic voltammetry.

Abstract
A class of replicable unnatural DNA base pairs formed between d5SICS and either dMMO2, dDMO, or dNaM were developed. To explore the use of these pairs to produce site-specifically labeled DNA, the synthesis of a variety of derivatives bearing propynyl groups, an analysis of their polymerase-mediated replication, and subsequent site-specific modification of the amplified DNA by Click chemistry is reported. With the d5SICS scaffold a propynyl ether linker is accommodated better than its aliphatic analogue, but not as well as the protected propargyl amine linker explored previously. It was also found that with the dMMO2 and dDMO analogues, the dMMO2 position para to the glycosidic linkage is best suited for linker attachment and that although aliphatic and ether-based linkers are similarly accommodated, the direct attachment of an ethynyl group to the nucleobase core is most well tolerated. To demonstrate the utility of these analogues, a variety of them were used to site-selectively attach a biotin tag to the amplified DNA. Finally, we use d5SICS(CO) -dNaM to couple one or two proteins to amplified DNA, with the double labeled product visualized by atomic force microscopy. The ability to encode the spatial relationships of arrayed molecules in PCR amplifiable DNA should have important applications, ranging from SELEX with functionalities not naturally present in DNA to the production, and perhaps "evolution" of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Modified nucleoside triphosphates (dA(Hs)TP, dU(POH)TP, and dC(Val)TP) bearing imidazole, hydroxyl, and carboxylic acid residues connected to the purine and pyrimidine bases through alkyne linkers were prepared. These modified dN*TPs were excellent substrates for various DNA polymerases in primer extension reactions. Moreover, the combined use of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) and the modified dNTPs led to efficient tailing reactions that rival those of natural counterparts. Finally, the triphosphates were tolerated by polymerases under PCR conditions, and the ensuing modified oligonucleotides served as templates for the regeneration of unmodified DNA. Thus, these modified dN*TPs are fully compatible with in vitro selection methods and can be used to develop artificial peptidases based on DNA.

Abstract
Nucleic acid aptamers are receptors of single-stranded oligonucleotides that specifically bind to their targets. Significant interest is currently focused on development of small molecule aptamers owing to their applications in biosensing, diagnostics, and therapeutics involving low molecular weight biomarkers and drugs. Despite great potential for their diverse applications, relatively few aptamers that bind to small molecules have been reported, and methodologies to enhance and broaden their functions by expanding chemical repertories have barely been examined. Here we describe construction of a modified DNA library that includes (E)-5-(2-(N-(2-(N(6)-adeninyl)ethyl))carbamylvinyl)-uracil bases and discovery of high-affinity camptothecin-binding DNA aptamers using a systematic evolution of ligands by the exponential enrichment method. Our results are the first to demonstrate the superior efficacy of base modification on affinity enhancement and the usefulness of unnatural nucleic acid libraries for development of small molecule aptamers.

Abstract
Enzymatic synthesis of short (10-22 nt) base-modified oligonucleotides (ONs) was developed by nicking enzyme amplification reaction (NEAR) using Vent(exo-) polymerase, Nt.BstNBI nicking endonuclease, and a modified deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) derivative. The scope and limitations of the methodology in terms of different nucleobases, length, sequences, and modifications has been thoroughly studied. The methodology including isolation of the modified ONs was scaled up to nanomolar amounts and the modified ONs were successfully used as primers in primer extension and PCR. Two simple and efficient methods for fluorescent labeling of the PCR products were developed, based either on direct fluorescent labeling of primers or on NEAR synthesis of ethynylated primers, PCR, and final click labeling with fluorescent azides.

Abstract
Chemically modified DNA aptamers specific to human α-thrombin were obtained from oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ODN) libraries by using a capillary electrophoresis-systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (CE-SELEX) method. These libraries contained 2'-O,4'-C-methylene-bridged/linked bicyclic ribonucleotides (B/L nucleotides) in the primer region and/or C5-modified thymidine bearing N(6)-ethyladenine (t) in the nonprimer region. Modified DNA aptamers showed high binding affinities to the target, with dissociation constants (Kd) values in the range of subnanomolar to several ten nanomolar levels. The introduction of base modification significantly suppressed the frequency of G-quadruplex motifs, which are often seen in thrombin-binding DNA aptamers. The resulting alternatives contained the 10-mer consensus sequence t5Gt2G2, which is frequently found in modified DNA aptamers with subnanomolar protein binding affinities. Furthermore, some base- and sugar-modified DNA aptamers with the 12-mer consensus sequence t2G2tC(A/G)A2G2t displayed binding activities that were dependent on the presence of B/L nucleotides in the primer region. Such aptamers were interestingly not recovered from a natural DNA library or from DNA libraries modified with either B/L nucleotides or t's. This emerging characteristic binding property will enable the creation of a direct selection methodology for DNA-based molecular switches that are triggered by chemical conversion of B/L nucleotides introduced to constant sequence regions in ODN libraries.

Abstract
Post-synthesis modification of DNA is an important way of functionalizing DNA molecules. Herein, we describe a method that first enzymatically incorporates a cyanobenzothiazole (CBT)-modified thymidine. The side-chain handle CBT can undergo a rapid and site-specific cyclization reaction with 1,2-aminothiols to afford DNA functionalization in aqueous solution. Another key advantage of this method is the formation of a single stereo/regioisomer in the process, which allows for precise control of DNA modification to yield a single component for aptamer selection work and other applications.

Abstract
Nucleoside triphosphates are moldable entities that can easily be functionalized at various locations. The enzymatic polymerization of these modified triphosphate analogues represents a versatile platform for the facile and mild generation of (highly) functionalized nucleic acids. Numerous modified triphosphates have been utilized in a broad palette of applications spanning from DNA-tagging and -labeling to the generation of catalytic nucleic acids. This review will focus on the recent progress made in the synthesis of modified nucleoside triphosphates as well as on the understanding of the mechanisms underlying their polymerase acceptance. In addition, the usefulness of chemically altered dNTPs in SELEX and related methods of in vitro selection will be highlighted, with a particular emphasis on the generation of modified DNA enzymes (DNAzymes) and DNA-based aptamers.

Abstract
Specific binders comprised of nucleic acids, that is, RNA/DNA aptamers, are attractive functional biopolymers owing to their potential broad application in medicine, food hygiene, environmental analysis, and biological research. Despite the large number of reports on selection of natural DNA/RNA aptamers, there are not many examples of direct screening of chemically modified nucleic acid aptamers. This is because of (i) the inferior efficiency and accuracy of polymerase reactions involving transcription/reverse-transcription of modified nucleotides compared with those of natural nucleotides, (ii) technical difficulties and additional time and effort required when using modified nucleic acid libraries, and (iii) ambiguous efficacies of chemical modifications in binding properties until recently; in contrast, the effects of chemical modifications on biostability are well studied using various nucleotide analogs. Although reports on the direct screening of a modified nucleic acid library remain in the minority, chemical modifications would be essential when further functional expansion of nucleic acid aptamers, in particular for medical and biological uses, is considered. This paper focuses on enzymatic production of chemically modified nucleic acids and their application to random screenings. In addition, recent advances and possible future research are also described.

Abstract
To expand the chemical array available for DNA sequences in the context of in vitro selection, I present herein the synthesis of five nucleoside triphosphate analogues containing side chains capable of organocatalysis. The synthesis involved the coupling of L-proline-containing residues (dU(tP)TP and dU(cP)TP), a dipeptide (dU(FP)TP), a urea derivative (dU(Bpu)TP), and a sulfamide residue (dU(Bs)TP) to a suitably protected common intermediate, followed by triphosphorylation. These modified dNTPs were shown to be excellent substrates for the Vent (exo(-)) and Pwo DNA polymerases, as well as the Klenow fragment of E. coli DNA polymerase I, although they were only acceptable substrates for the 9°N(m) polymerase. All of the modified dNTPs, with the exception of dU(Bpu)TP, were readily incorporated into DNA by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Modified oligonucleotides efficiently served as templates for PCR for the regeneration of unmodified DNA. Thermal denaturation experiments showed that these modifications are tolerated in the major groove. Overall, these heavily modified dNTPs are excellent candidates for SELEX.

The dC(R)TPs were excellent substrates for DNA polymerases and were incorporated into DNA by primer extension or PCR. Reductive aminations of the model dC(R)MPs with lysine or lysine-containing tripeptide were studied and optimized. In aqueous phosphate buffer (pH 6.7) the yields of the reductive aminations with tripeptide III were up to 25 %. Bioconjugation of an aldehyde-containing DNA with a lysine-containing tripeptide was achieved through reductive amination in yields of up to 90 % in aqueous phosphate buffer.

Abstract
Site-specific labeling of enzymatically synthesized DNA or RNA has many potential uses in basic and applied research, ranging from facilitating biophysical studies to the in vitro evolution of functional nucleic acids and the construction of various nanomaterials and biosensors. As part of our efforts to expand the genetic alphabet, we have developed a class of unnatural base pairs, exemplified by d5SICS-dMMO2 and d5SICS-dNaM, which are efficiently replicated and transcribed, and which may be ideal for the site-specific labeling of DNA and RNA. Here, we report the synthesis and analysis of the ribo- and deoxyribo-variants, (d)5SICS and (d)MMO2, modified with free or protected propargylamine linkers that allow for the site-specific modification of DNA or RNA during or after enzymatic synthesis. We also synthesized and evaluated the α-phosphorothioate variant of d5SICSTP, which provides a route to backbone thiolation and an additional strategy for the postamplification site-specific labeling of DNA. The deoxynucleotides were characterized via steady-state kinetics and PCR, while the ribonucleosides were characterized by the transcription of both a short, model RNA as well as full length tRNA. The data reveal that while there are interesting nucleotide and polymerase-specific sensitivities to linker attachment, both (d)MMO2 and (d)5SICS may be used to produce DNA or RNA site-specifically modified with multiple, different functional groups with sufficient efficiency and fidelity for practical applications.

Abstract
Modified 2'-deoxynucleosides and deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) bearing anthraquinone (AQ) attached through an acetylene or propargylcarbamoyl linker at the 5-position of pyrimidine (C) or at the 7-position of 7-deazaadenine were prepared by Sonogashira cross-coupling of halogenated dNTPs with 2-ethynylanthraquinone or 2-(2-propynylcarbamoyl)anthraquinone. Polymerase incorporations of the AQ-labeled dNTPs into DNA by primer extension with KOD XL polymerase have been successfully developed. The electrochemical properties of the AQ-labeled nucleosides, nucleotides, and DNA were studied by cyclic and square-wave voltammetry, which show a distinct reversible couple of peaks around -0.4 V that make the AQ a suitable redox label for DNA.

Abstract
Incorporation of 5-bromouridine (5BrdU) into DNA makes it sensitive to UV and ionizing radiation, which opens up a prospective route for the clinical usage of 5-bromouridine and other halonucleosides. In the present work the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol, which enables a long DNA fragment (resembling DNA synthesized in the cell in the presence of halonucleosides) to be completely substituted with 5BrdU, was optimized. Using HPLC coupled to enzymatic digestion, it was demonstrated that the actual amounts of native nucleosides and 5BrdU correspond very well to those calculated from the sequence of PCR products. The synthesized DNA is photosensitive to photons of 300nm. HPLC analysis demonstrated that the photolysis of labeled PCR products leads to a significant decrease in the 5BrdU signal and the simultaneous occurrence of a uridine peak. Agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis suggest that single strand breaks and cross-links are formed as a result of UV irradiation. The PCR protocol described in the current paper may be employed for labeling DNA not only with BrdU but also with other halonucleosides.

Abstract
The enzymatic incorporation of a phenol-modified 2'-deoxyuridine triphosphate gave rise to a modified DNA library that was subsequently used in an in vitro selection for ribophosphodiester-cleaving DNAzymes in the presence of divalent zinc and magnesium cations. After 11 rounds of selection, cloning and sequencing resulted in 14 distinct sequences, the most active of which was Dz11-17PheO. Dz11-17PheO self-cleaved an embedded ribocytidine with an observed rate constant of 0.20 ± 0.02 min(-1) in the presence of 10 mM Mg(2+) and 1 mM Zn(2+) at room temperature. The activity was inhibited at low concentrations of Hg(2+) cations and somewhat higher concentrations of Eu(3+) cations.

Abstract
Conventional pyrosequencing using 2'-deoxyadenosine-5'-O-(1-thiotriphosphate) (dATPαS) is problematic due to the high cost of the substrate (dATPαS) and deterioration in the accuracy of incorporation to read through poly(T) regions. One reason for these problems is that dATPαS has a sulfur on the α-phosphate and also has isomers (Sp and Rp). To solve these problems, 11 nucleotide substrates, which could replace dATPαS in pyrosequencing, were newly synthesized. All substrates were modified on the seventh or eighth position of the adenine base from normal dATP. We found that the substrate that had an ethenyl-linked modified group on the seventh position of the adenine base had low activity in the luciferase reaction and high incorporation efficiency with the thymine base. One substrate in particular had 10-fold better incorporation efficiency than dATPαS. The new nucleotide substrate satisfied all conditions as a replacement of dATPαS.

Abstract
Aqueous Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of halogenated nucleosides, nucleotides and nucleoside triphosphates derived from 5-iodocytosine and 7-iodo-7-deazaadenine with methyl-, benzyl- and tritylsufanylphenylboronic acids gave the corresponding alkylsulfanylphenyl derivatives of nucleosides and nucleotides. The modified nucleoside triphosphates were incorporated into DNA by primer extension by using Vent(exo-) polymerase. The electrochemical behaviour of the alkylsulfanylphenyl nucleosides indicated formation of compact layers on the electrode. Modified nucleotides and DNA with incorporated benzyl- or tritylsulfanylphenyl moieties produced signals in [Co(NH(3))(6)](3+) ammonium buffer, attributed to the Brdička catalytic response, depending on the negative potential applied. Repeated constant current chronopotentiometric scans in this medium showed increased Brdička catalytic response, which suggests the deprotection of the alkylsulfanyl derivatives to free thiols under the conditions.

Abstract
We describe the development of a novel combined approach for high-throughput analysis of multiple DNA targets based on multiplex Microdroplet PCR Implemented Capillary gel electrophoresis (MPIC), a two-step PCR amplification strategy. In the first step, the multiple target DNAs are preamplified using bipartite primers attached with universal tail sequences on their 5'-ends. Then, the preamplified templates are compartmentalized individually in the microdroplet of the PCR system, and multiple targets can be amplified in parallel, employing primers targeting their universal sequences. Subsequently, the resulting multiple products are analyzed by capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE). Using genetically modified organism (GMO) analysis as a model, 24 DNA targets can be simultaneously detected with a relative limit of detection of 0.1% (w/w) and absolute limit of detection of 39 target DNA copies. The described system provides a promising alternative for high-throughput analysis of multiple DNA targets.

Abstract
A simple approach to DNA tail-labelling using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase and modified deoxynucleoside triphosphates is presented. Amino- and nitrophenyl-modified dNTPs were found to be good substrates for this enzyme giving 3'-end stretches of different lengths depending on the nucleotide and concentration. 3-Nitrophenyl-7-deazaG was selected as the most useful label because its dNTP was efficiently incorporated by the transferase to form long tail-labels at any oligonucleotide. Accumulation of many nitrophenyl tags per oligonucleotide resulted in a considerable enhancement of voltammetric signals due to the nitro group reduction, thus improving the sensitivity of electrochemical detection of the tail-labelled probes. We demonstrate a perfect discrimination between complementary and non-complementary target DNAs sequences by tail-labelled hybridization probes as well as the ability of tumour suppressor p53 protein to recognize a specific binding site within tail-labelled DNA substrates, making the methodology useful in electrochemical DNA hybridization and DNA-protein interaction assays.

Abstract
Recently, KOD and its related DNA polymerases have been used for preparing various modified nucleic acids, including not only base-modified nucleic acids, but also sugar-modified ones, such as bridged/locked nucleic acid (BNA/LNA) which would be promising candidates for nucleic acid drugs. However, thus far, reasons for the effectiveness of KOD DNA polymerase for such purposes have not been clearly elucidated. Therefore, using mutated KOD DNA polymerases, we studied here their catalytic properties upon enzymatic incorporation of nucleotide analogues with base/sugar modifications. Experimental data indicate that their characteristic kinetic properties enabled incorporation of various modified nucleotides. Among those KOD mutants, one achieved efficient successive incorporation of bridged nucleotides with a 2′-ONHCH2CH2-4′ linkage. In this study, the characteristic kinetic properties of KOD DNA polymerase for modified nucleoside triphosphates were shown, and the effectiveness of genetic engineering in improvement of the enzyme for modified nucleotide polymerization has been demonstrated.

Abstract
We report the regioselective Cu-free click modification of styrene functionalized DNA with nitrile oxides. A series of modified oligodeoxynucleotides (nine base pairs) was prepared with increasing styrene density. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition with nitrile oxides allows the high density functionalization of the styrene modified DNA directly on the DNA solid support and in solution. This click reaction proceeds smoothly even directly in the DNA synthesizer and gives exclusively 3,5-disubstituted isoxazolines. Additionally, PCR products (300 and 900 base pairs) were synthesized with a styrene triphosphate and KOD XL polymerase. The click reaction on the highly modified PCR fragments allows functionalization of hundreds of styrene units on these large DNA fragments simultaneously. Even sequential Cu-free and Cu-catalyzed click reaction of PCR amplicons containing styrene and alkyne carrying nucleobases was achieved. This new approach towards high-density functionalization of DNA is simple, modular, and efficient.
