T. Horn et al., OLIGONUCLEOTIDES WITH ALTERNATING ANIONIC AND CATIONIC PHOSPHORAMIDATE LINKAGES - SYNTHESIS AND HYBRIDIZATION OF STEREO-UNIFORM ISOMERS, Tetrahedron letters, 37(6), 1996, pp. 743-746
An oligonucleotide containing alternating anionic and stereo-uniform c
ationic dimethylaminopropylphosphoramidate linkages, d(T+T-)(7)T, is s
hown to bind with unusually high affinity to DNA [poly(dA) and d(C(2)A
(15)C(2))] and RNA [poly(rA)] targets in solutions of low ionic streng
th. The isomeric oligomer with the opposite configuration at the phosp
horamidate links binds much less efficiently.
