Preface DNA has become a unique protagonist in the realm of bioorganic chemistry because of its predicable and defined structure, succinct programmability, and known interactions and chemistries. This has led to non-natural DNA mimics, either in part or in whole, becoming integral parts of nanoscaffolds, detection devices, and critical probes in a host of biological applications. This volume aims to highlight the diverse and exciting umbrella of non-natural nucleic acids. As nature has served to inspire, it is hoped that this volume will serve as a means to guide researchers toward a viable method when exploring their own inquiries and to serve as a springboard for new endeavors.
