A sequential strand-displacement strategy enables efficient six-step DNA-templated synthesis.

ABSTRACT: We developed a sequential strand-displacement strategy for multistep DNA-templated synthesis (DTS) and used it to mediate an efficient six-step DTS that proceeded in 35% overall yield (83% average yield per step). The efficiency of this approach and the fact that the final product remains linked to a DNA sequence that fully encodes its reaction history suggests its utility for the translation of DNA sequences into high-complexity synthetic libraries suitable for in vitro selection.
