Metal cluster containing nucleotides and nucleic acids, and intermediates therefor

摘要

Nucleotides including a sugar moiety, a pyrimidine or purine base and a terminal thiol group at a side chain covalently linked to pyrimidine or purine base of the nucleotide, and optionally further including a metal cluster covalently linked through the terminal thiol group at said side chain to the pyrimidine or purine base of the nucleotide, and nucleic acids incorporating same.
