Abstract:A hyperbranched polymer
(HBP) made of three-way junction (TWJ)
DNAs is reported. Three types of 26-mer DNAs with 5′-ends modified
with psoralen (PSN) were synthesized. All had self-complementary sequences
starting from the 5′-end to the sixth base (AAGCTT), allowing
intermolecular hybridization. The base sequences of the remaining
20-mer sites were designed so that upon hybridization, three strands
had a TWJ structure with a mass of 25,000 that could be further grown
by forming HBPs. PSN photochemically reacts… Show more
