Research Abstract |
DNA can recognize their complementary counter strand by hydrogen bonding. Ligation and scission of DNA are possible by enzymes. These characteristics of DNA are useful for construction molecular organizations in nanometer scale. In this study, we carried out to synthesize oligo-catenanes with interlocked supramolecular structures. As results, we succeeded to synthesize oligo-catenanes by enzymatic and photochemical ligation.
