Abstract

Remarkable selectivity was observed in the ligation of 5’-phosphate 1-pyrene nucleotide terminated strands across from an abasic lesion in a DNA-templated ligation reaction by two different ligase suggesting that pyrene-terminated strands could be used in abasic site detection. This selectivity is significantly greater than other reported unnatural base pairs at the same position revealing the unique properties of the abasic:pyrene pair.
