Xenonucleic acids (XNAs) are synthetic nucleic acid analogues that are engineered with a structurally distinct sugar component, as opposed to the nucleobase or phosphate. XNAs have fundamentally different properties from endogenous nucleic acids, enabling different specialized applications, such as therapeutics, probes, or functional molecules.
