Abstract:

DNA-programmed organic reactions are new and powerful tools for assembling chemical compounds into predetermined complex structures and a brief review of their use is given. This approach is particular efficient for the selection and covalent coupling of multiple components. DNA-templated synthesis is used for polymerization of PNA tetramers and for copying of the connectivity information in DNA. Direct DNA-programmed multicomponent coupling of custom designed organic modules is described. The macromolecular structures obtained are highly conjugated potentially conducting nanoscaffolds. Some future developments in this area are discussed.
