    Abstract: There is provided a nucleic acid strand cleaving method including a nucleic acid preparation step of preparing a nucleic acid to be cleaved having a structure represented by the following Formula (1), and a cleaving step of reacting the nucleic acid to be cleaved with a cleaving agent to cleave the nucleic acid to be cleaved at the part X of the Formula (1) to generate a nucleic acid having a structure represented by the following Formula (2). The cleaving agent is a metal nanoparticle containing an atom selected from the group consisting of silver, mercury, and cadmium. [Chemical Formula 1] Here, B represents a base, and X represents sulfur or selenium. NucA is composed of at least one nucleotide and is a part of the nucleic acid to be cleaved, and represents a part on the 5′ end side with reference to the X. NucB is composed of at least one nucleotide and is a part of the nucleic acid to be cleaved, and represents a part on the 3′ end side with reference to the X.

    Abstract: A mRNA for the synthesis of a protein, including a translation region containing a start codon and a stop codon and an untranslated region positioned on the 5′-end side of the start codon, in which some phosphate groups within the range of at least from the 5′end of the untranslated region to 15 nt on the 3′-end side of the start codon are substituted with phosphorothioate groups, is provided. A method for producing an mRNA, including: a step of preparing a DNA template; a step of preparing an unmodified NTP containing ATP, GTP, CTP, and UTP, and a modified NTP in which at least one kind of phosphate group of the unmodified NTP is substituted with a phosphorothioate group; and a step of performing a transcription reaction with RNA polymerase using the DNA template as a template and the unmodified NTP and the modified NTP as substrates, is also provided.

    Abstract: A non-enzymatic method is provided for binding a first nucleic acid chain to a second nucleic acid chain without introducing a sulfur atom into the combined nucleic acid chain, the method comprising reacting a first nucleic acid chain having a phosphorothioate group at the 3′ or 5′ terminus with a second nucleic acid chain having a hydroxyl group or an amino group at the 3′ or 5′ terminus in the presence of an electrophile that has a leaving group and is configured to leave the leaving group and bind to a sulfur atom of the phosphorothioate group of the first nucleic acid chain at the site to which the leaving group had been bound, and remove the sulfur atom from the phosphorothioate group of the first nucleic acid chain and a hydrogen atom from the hydroxyl group or from the amino group of the second nucleic acid chain via a nucleophilic substitution with an oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group or a nitrogen atom of the amino group of the second nucleic acid chain, and thereby form a bond between a phosphorus atom of the phosphate group of the first nucleic acid chain and the oxygen atom or the nitrogen atom of the second nucleic acid chain. Examples of structures produced by the binding method are shown below.
