Mapping the Landscape of Potentially Primordial Informational Oligomers: Oligodipeptides and Oligodipeptoids Tagged with Triazines as Recognition Elements

Abstract

Pairing up: Oligodipeptide, oligodeoxydipeptide, or oligodipeptoid backbones tagged with the 2,4-diaminotriazine nucleus pair strongly with complementary DNA and RNA. This is in sharp contrast with the behavior of the 2,4-dioxotriazine nucleus, which does not act as a nucleobase in these systems.
