Abstract
Oligonucleotides are advancing as essential materials for the development of new therapeutics, artificial genes, or in storage of information applications. Hitherto, our capacity to write (i.e., synthesize) oligonucleotides is not as efficient as that to read (i.e., sequencing) DNA/RNA. Alternative, biocatalytic methods for the de novo synthesis of natural or modified oligonucleotides are in dire need to circumvent the limitations of traditional synthetic approaches. This Perspective article summarizes recent progress made in controlled enzymatic synthesis, where temporary blocked nucleotides are incorporated into immobilized primers by polymerases. While robust protocols have been established for DNA, RNA or XNA synthesis is more challenging. Nevertheless, using a suitable combination of protected nucleotides and polymerase has shown promises to produce RNA oligonucleotides even though the production of long DNA/RNA/XNA sequences (>1000 nt) remains challenging. We surmise that merging ligase- and polymerase-based synthesis would help to circumvent the current shortcomings of controlled enzymatic synthesis.

Abstract
Due to the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 at the end of 2019, rapid detection has become an urgent need for community clinics and hospitals. The rapid development of isothermal amplification detection technology for nucleic acids in the field of molecular diagnostic point-of-care testing (POCT) has gained a great deal of attention in recent years. Thanks to intensive research on nicking enzymes, nicking enzyme-combined isothermal amplification has become a promising platform for rapid detection. This is a novel technique that uses nicking enzymes to improve ordinary isothermal amplification. It has garnered significant interest as it overcomes the complexity of traditional molecular diagnostics and is not subject to temperature limitations, relying on cleavage enzymes to efficiently amplify targets in a very short time to provide a high level of amplification efficiency. In recent years, several types of nicking enzyme-combined isothermal amplification have been developed and they have shown great potential in molecular diagnosis, immunodiagnosis, biochemical identification, and other fields. However, this kind of amplification has some disadvantages. In this review, the principles, advantages and disadvantages, and applications of several nicking enzyme-combined isothermal amplification techniques are reviewed and the prospects for the development of these techniques are also considered.

Abstract
A set of modified 2′-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) bearing a linear or branched alkane, indole or phenyl group linked through ethynyl or alkyl spacer were synthesized and used as substrates for polymerase synthesis of hypermodified DNA by primer extension (PEX). Using the alkyl-linked dNTPs, the polymerase synthesized up to 22-mer fully modified oligonucleotide (ON), whereas using the ethynyl-linked dNTPs, the enzyme was able to synthesize even long sequences of >100 modified nucleotides in a row. In PCR, the combinations of all four modified dNTPs showed only linear amplification. Asymmetric PCR or PEX with separation or digestion of the template strand can be used for synthesis of hypermodified single-stranded ONs, which are monodispersed polymers displaying four different substituents on DNA backbone in sequence-specific manner. The fully modified ONs hybridized with complementary strands and modified DNA duplexes were found to exist in B-type conformation (B- or C-DNA) according to CD spectral analysis. The modified DNA can be replicated with high fidelity to natural DNA through PCR and sequenced. Therefore, this approach has a promising potential in generation and selection of hypermodified aptamers and other functional polymers.

A signal transduction approach for multiplexed detection of transcription factors by integrating DNA nanotechnology, multi-channeled isothermal amplification, and chromatography.

Abstract
The variation patterns of transcription factors (TFs) provide direct information for the states of cell populations, which is of significance for biomedical research and clinical diagnostics. Herein, we show that through multi-channeled isothermal amplification, it is feasible to connect DNA-based signal transduction with chromatography for multiplexed detection of TFs. The described system is referred to as "PAC" which includes three major steps: (i) Protection, which uses DNA-modified magnetic beads to capture TFs and converts the capturing event into triggering signal; (ii) Amplification, which receives the triggering signal and generate DNA reporters through multi-channeled extension and nicking of oligonucleotides; and (iii) Chromatography, which separates and detects the DNA reporters in liquid chromatography. The quantitative detection of five essential TFs includes p50, p53, AP-1, MITF, and c-Myc is realized in a multiplexed manner, with the lowest detection limit of 0.5 pM. PAC can also provide effective means to measure the above five TFs in real samples, including cultured cells, xenograft tumors, and blood-based liquid biopsy. This study not only established a solution for multiplexed measurement of TFs for molecular diagnostics, but also paved avenue for bridging the gap between DNA nanotechnology and chromatography.

Abstract
Nicking enzyme assisted amplification (NEAA) is an extremely rapid method for molecular diagnosis. However, this technology is not widely applied for real sample analysis because the overproduced non-specific products limit its sensitivity and raise the threshold of detection methods. Here, we have found that the non-specific amplification is mainly caused by the coexistence of Bst polymerase, nicking primers and dNTP. The highly active nicking enzyme directs and accelerates the non-specific amplification in a way which favors nicking. To suppress the non-specific amplification, the nicking enzyme concentration, reaction temperature, and magnesium ion concentration are optimized. The compatibility of Bst polymerase with the concentration of the monovalent cation is also crucial. Besides, the sensitivity could be enhanced by shortening the target sequences and priming the 3' end of the target.

Abstract
An ultra-sensitive aptamer-based biosensor for the detection of staphylococcus aureus was established by adopting the nicking enzyme amplification reaction (NEAR) and the rolling circle amplification (RCA) technologies. Aptamer-probe (AP), containing an aptamer and a probe sequence, was developed to act as the recognition unit of the biosensor, which was specifically bound to S. aureus. The probe was released from AP and initiated into the subsequent DNA amplification reactions where S. aureus was present, converting the detection of S. aureus to the investigation of probe oligonucleotide. The RCA amplification products contained a G-quadruplex motif and formed a three dimensional structure in presence of hemin. The G4/hemin complex showed horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mimic activity and catalyzed the chemiluminescence reaction of luminol mediated by H2O2. The results showed that the established biosensor could detect S. aureus specifically with a good linear correlation at 5-104 CFU/mL. The signal values based on NEAR-RCA two-step cycle were boosted acutely, much higher than that relied on one-cycle magnification. The limit of detection (LoD) was determined to be as low as 5 CFU/mL. The established aptasensor exhibited a good discrimination of living against dead S. aureus, and can be applied to detect S. aureus in the food industry.

Abstract
A simple and elegant method for inhibition of non-templated nucleotide addition by DNA polymerases and for following DNA 3'-heterogeneity in enzymatic DNA synthesis by primer extension (PEX) is described. When template bearing ortho-twisted intercalating nucleic acid (ortho-TINA) at the 5'-end is used, non-templated nucleotide addition is reduced in both the A- and B-family DNA polymerases (KOD XL, KOD (exo-), Bst 2.0, Therminator, Deep Vent (exo-) and Taq). Formation of a single oligonucleotide product was observed with ortho-TINA modified template and KOD XL, KOD (exo-), Bst 2.0, Deep Vent (exo-) and Taq DNA polymerases. This approach can be applied to the synthesis of both unmodified and base-modified oligonucleotides.

Abstract
Recently, we reported the use of the Nicking Enzyme Amplification Reaction (NEAR) for the enzymatic synthesis of short oligonucleotides (ONs) containing 5-substituted pyrimidine or 7-substituted 7-deazaadenine nucleotides. Since no oligonucleotide products were visible on agarose gels stained by an intercalating dye (GelRed), we assumed that the method did not work for 7-substituted 7-deazaguanine deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates. We revisited the work and found that the NEAR method works for 7-deazaguanine nucleotides as well but that the resulting modified ONs quench the fluorescence of DNA intercalators, rendering them invisible on gel electrophoresis stained by them. Here, we report on the modified methodology for the NEAR synthesis and analysis of G-modified ONs and on quantification of the fluorescence quenching.

Abstract
New fluorescent nucleosides and nucleoside triphosphate (dNTPs) analogs bearing the F-Bodipy fluorophore linked through a short, flexible nonconjugate tether were synthesized. The Bodipy-labeled dNTPs were substrates for several DNA polymerases which incorporated them into DNA in primer extension, nicking enzyme amplification reaction, and polymerase chain reaction. The fluorescence of F-Bodipy is not quenched upon incorporation in DNA and can be detected both in solutions and on gels.

Abstract
A new azido-based DNA redox label which can be transformed into nitrophenyltriazole by a CuAAC click reaction was developed. It was used for the mapping of DNA–protein interactions with electrochemical detection.
New redox labelling of DNA by an azido group which can be chemically transformed to nitrophenyltriazole or silenced to phenyltriazole was developed and applied to the electrochemical detection of DNA–protein interactions. 5-(4-Azidophenyl)-2′-deoxycytidine and 7-(4-azidophenyl)-7-deaza-2′-deoxyadenosine nucleosides were prepared by aqueous-phase Suzuki cross-coupling and converted to nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) which served as substrates for incorporation into DNA by DNA polymerase. The azidophenyl-modified nucleotides and azidophenyl-modified DNA gave a strong signal in voltammetric studies, at –0.9 V, due to reduction of the azido function. The Cu-catalyzed click reaction of azidophenyl-modified nucleosides or azidophenyl-modified DNA with 4-nitrophenylacetylene gave nitrophenyl-substituted triazoles, exerting a reduction peak at –0.4 V under voltammetry, whereas the click reaction with phenylacetylene gave electrochemically silent phenyltriazoles. The transformation of the azidophenyl label to nitrophenyltriazole was used for electrochemical detection of DNA–protein interactions (p53 protein) since only those azidophenyl groups in the parts of the DNA not shielded by the bound p53 protein were transformed to nitrophenyltriazoles, whereas those covered by the protein were not.

Abstract
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASODNs) have been widely used as an important tool for regulating gene expression, and developed into therapeutics. Natural ODNs are susceptible to nuclease degradation, nucleic acid analogues, however, have less side effects, stronger stability and more potent activities. Large-scale de novo synthesis of a certain oligonucleotide has been very difficult and costly. In a previous preliminary study, we developed the polymerase-endonuclease amplification reaction (PEAR) for amplification and large-scale preparation of natural antisense ODNs. Here we extended the method in preparation of a widely used modified oligonucleotide with 5′-O-(1-Thiotriphosphate) modifications. Using electrospray ionization liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (ESI/LC/MS) detection, the purity of the PEAR product was measured as high as 100.0%. Using PEAR a large amount of a specific oligonucleotide can be produced starting from a small amount of synthetic seeds. It is suggested that PEAR can be a useful tool for large-scale production of modified oligonucleotides.

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
Enzymatic construction of single-nucleobase redox-labelled oligonucleotides was developed either based on polymerase incorporation of a single modified nucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) followed by primer extension (PEX) with natural dNTPs or based on PEX with a biotinylated one-nucleotide overhang template, magnetoseparation and the second PEX with a full-length template.

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.
