Base-based modification of nucleosides and nucleotides can be achieved by introducing different chemical groups into the molecular structure of the nucleoside or nucleotide by utilizing organic synthesis. For example, different functional groups are introduced at specific positions by chemical reactions such as esterification, substitution, and oxidation reactions. Another approach is by introducing a specific chemical functional group on a starting molecule and then converting it to the target modifying group using a chemical reaction. For example, by introducing an acetone or allylacetone functional group, it can be converted to an amino group or a hydroxyl group after a selective chemical reaction. By modification, the properties such as solubility, stability, and affinity can be changed, thus improving the efficacy and bioavailability of drugs. In addition, modified nucleosides and nucleotides can be used for labeling molecules, probe design, and biosensors, providing a powerful tool and platform for scientific research.
