Abstract

2′-O-Aminohexyl side chains provide excellent conditions for zwitterionic interstrand and intrastrand interactions of oligonucleotides. 2′-O-Aminoalkylated phosphoramidites of adenosine and uridine were synthesized and incorporated in increasing number into homo adenosine and homo uridine/thymidine dodecamers, respectively. CD spectra of these dodecamers with complementary sense DNA exhibited a B-DNA type structure. While ...
