Triazole linkages (TLs) are mimics of the phosphodiester bond in oligonucleotides with applications in synthetic biology and biotechnology. Here we report the RuAAC-catalyzed synthesis of a novel 1,5-disubstituted triazole (TL 2 ) dinucleoside phosphoramidite as well as its incorporation into oligonucleotides and compare its DNA polymerase replication competency with other TL analogues. We demonstrate that TL 2 has superior replication kinetics to these analogues and is accurately replicated by polymerases. Derived structure-biocompatibility relationships show that linker length and the orientation of a hydrogen bond acceptor are critical and provide further guidance for the rational design of artificial biocompatible nucleic acid backbones.
