Area of Science:

Molecular Biology
Biochemistry
Synthetic Biology

Background:

Oligonucleotide (ODN) manipulation is crucial for various biotechnological applications.
Efficient and reversible methods for modifying DNA structures are highly sought after.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel, highly efficient method for the reversible photocircularization of oligonucleotides.
To demonstrate the formation of a catenated plasmid using this photocircularization technique.

Main Methods:

Utilizing 5-carboxyvinyl-2'-deoxyuridine-containing oligonucleotides.
Employing a double-stranded DNA template for photocircularization.
Irradiating the reaction mixture to induce photocircularization.

Main Results:
