@article{follmann2004deoxyribonucleotides, abstract = {Deoxyribonucleotides{,} monomers of macromolecular DNA and the chemical matter of genes{,} have received surprisingly little attention among chemists and molecular biologists alike{,} although their origin{,} properties{,} and mechanism of enzyme-catalyzed formation bear unique chemical traits which are the basis of DNA replication. Apart from providing insights in bioorganic free radical chemistry{,} present interest in deoxyribonucleotides stems from the expected demand of hundreds of kilograms per year for DNA chips and antisense constructs used in gene therapy{,} difficult to produce by conventional methods. A novel approach towards deoxyribonucleotide{,} and hence DNA formation in a putative primordial {'}RNA world{'} has also recently emerged.}, author = {Follmann, H.}, doi = {10.1039/A907361B}, interhash = {eacd5c92b25e9c136023044549f4eb01}, intrahash = {64d1fdae158f0737e44ef7a52dec9bfe}, journal = {Chem.
