The base modified nucleoside dBP, carrying a non-hydrogen-bonding non-shape complementary base was incorporated into oligonucleotides (Brotschi, C.; Haberli, A.; Leumann C.J. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2001, 40, 3012-3014). This base was designed to coordinate transition metal ions into well defined positions within a DNA double helix. Melting experiments revealed that the stability of a dBP:dBP base couple in a DNA duplex is similar to a dG:dC base pair even in the absence of transition metal ions. In the presence of transition metal ions, melting experiments revealed a decrease in duplex stability which is on a similar order for all metal ions (Mn2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+) tested
