Figure 2 Examples of replicative ligation of tetramers of p-RNA. Brackets indicate the length of oligomers. Hydrolysis of 2′,3′-cyclic phosphate (cp) to phosphate (p) is a competing reaction. (a) Auto-oligomerization of the oligomer ATCG. (b) Co-oligomerization of oligomers DTCG and GCCG, where D has 2,6-diaminopurine as its base. Current Biology 1997 7, R477-R479DOI: ( /S (06) )
