Abstract

In this work, we investigated how thermally stable ImO(N):NaN(O) and ImN(O):NaO(N) pairs are recognized by the Klenow fragment (KF). As a result, these complementary base pairs, especially the ImN(O):NaO(N) pair, were recognized selectively due to the four hydrogen bonds between the nucleobases and the shape complementarity of the Im:Na pair similar to the purine:pyrimidine base pair.
