Abstract
Copper catalyzed Alkyne Azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) "click reaction" was applied for the construction of oligonucleotide conjugates, circular objects and phosphodiester glyco-clusters. To this end, several strategies were developed to introduce either alkyne or azide functions into an oligonucleotide.
