Discerning in their choice of partner: The DNA of a self-avoiding molecular-recognition system (SAMRS) binds to natural DNA but not to members of the same SAMRS. Multiplexed PCR with an SAMRS based on 2-aminopurine (A*), 2-thiothymine (T*), 2′-hypoxanthine (G*), and N4-ethylcytosine (C*; see examples) showed the benefits of such systems for clinical analysis, which requires many DNA molecules to interact with target DNA but not with each other.
