(Matrix Presented) Within the polyA:polyT recognition system, cross-pairing between several nucleic acids with a phosphorylated six-membered carbohydrate (mimic) as repeating unit in the backbone structure has been observed. All investigated nucleic acids (except for β-homo-DNA) hybridize with RNA, leaving RNA as a versatile biopolymer for informational transfer.
