Abstract
Abstract Phosphate groups are often crucial to biological activity and interactions of oligonucleotides, but confer poor membrane permeability. In addition, the group's lability to enzymatic hydrolysis is an obstacle to its use in therapeutics and in biological tools. We present the synthesis of N ‐oxyamide and squaramide modifications at the 5’‐end of oligonucleotides as phosphate replacements and their biological evaluation using the 5’‐exonuclease SNM1A. The squaryl diamide modification showed minimal recognition as a 5’‐phosphate mimic; however, modest inhibition of SNM1A, postulated to occur through metal coordination at the active site, was observed. Their facile incorporation after solid‐phase synthesis and recognition by the exonuclease makes squaryl diamides attractive neutral 5’‐phosphate replacements for oligonucleotides. This work is the first example of squaryl diamide modifications at the 5’‐terminal position of oligonucleotides and of the potential use of modified oligonucleotides to bind to the metal center of SNM1A.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
