5-Chloro-2'-deoxyuridine as a possible component of a chemically modified genome has been discussed in terms of its influence on duplex stability and DNA polymerase incorporation properties. The search for its counterpart among different deoxyadenosine analogs (7-deaza-, 8-aza- and 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosines) showed that the stable duplex formation as well as the synthesis of long constructs, more than 2 kb, were successful with the 5-chloro-2'-deoxyuridine and 7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine combination and with Taq DNA polymerase.
