Modification of nucleosides and nucleotides is pivotal in the functional regulation of cells and life activities. The function of DNA and RNA can be modulated by changing their structure and introducing different chemical groups. Such modifications are essential to the process of drug discovery and development. For example, by targeting specific nucleotide modifications, researchers can design drugs with specific biological activities to inhibit the growth of pathogens or treat certain genetic diseases. Modifications such as glycosylation, phosphorylation, and acetylation can change nucleotide molecule charge state and structure thus impacting signaling pathways The techniques of nucleotide modification can also be used for gene editing. By modifying nucleotide molecules, researchers can design and develop nucleic acid sequences with specific functions for editing or repairing a patient's genes, which is important for several inherited diseases.
