Template-directed oligonucleotide strand ligation, covalent intramolecular DNA circularization and catenation using click chemistry.

The copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction has been used for the template-mediated chemical ligation of two oligonucleotide strands, one with a 5'-alkyne and the other with a 3'-azide, to produce a DNA strand with an unnatural backbone at the ligation point. A template-free c...
