Abstract

Threofuranosyl nucleic acid (TNA), an artificial genetic polymer known for its nuclease resistance and acid stability, has grown in popularity as a genetically-encoded material for applications in synthetic biology and biomedicine. TNA oligonucleotide synthesis requires enzymatic or solid phase synthesis pathways that rely on monomer building blocks that are not commercially available and can only be obtained by chemical synthesis. Here we present a synthetic route to 7-deaza-7-modified tGTP and phosphoramidite analogs that is operationally simpler than our previously described strategy. The new methodology offers an HPLC-free route to tGTP analogs that are recognized by engineered TNA polymerases and can be incorporated with continued TNA synthesis.
