Incorporation of (R)- and (S)-3′,4′-seco-thymidine into oligodeoxynucleotides: hybridization properties and enzymatic stability

Abstract
Novel flexible ollgodeoxynucleotide analogues containing (R)- and (S)-3′,4′-seco-thymidine were synthesized on an automated DNA-synthesizer using the phosphoramidlte approach. Oligodeoxynucleotide analogues (17-mers) having one or three modifications In the middle or one or two modifications In the ends were evaluated with respect to hybridization properties and enzymatic stability. 3′-End-modlfled oligomers were stable towards 3′-exonuclease degradation and displayed acceptable hybridization properties.
