Abstract

Biomimetic : A strand displacement mechanism was designed to permit DNA‐templated synthesis of functional oligomers of arbitrary length (see scheme). Key features of the mechanism are that successive coupling reactions take place in near‐identical environments and that purification is only necessary in the last synthesis step.
