Schematic depiction of the templated synthesis of nylon nucleic acid molecule 3b. A DNA hairpin template strand with a sequence complementary to strand 3a forms a stable duplex. Proximal amines and carboxylates are then connected using chemical ligation. The nylon nucleic acid product is separated from the hairpin template by denaturing gel electrophoresis.
