Y. Maurinsh et W. Pfleiderer, NUCLEOSIDES .58. SYNTHESIS OF BASE - MODIFIED OLIGONUCLEOTIDES CONTAINING 6-ARYL AND 7-ARYL LUMAZINES, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 15(1-3), 1996, pp. 431-443
6-Phenyl-, 7-phenyl-, 6-(4-biphenyl)-7-(4-biphenyl)lumazine N-1-2-deox
y-beta-D-ribofuranosides were synthesized, then converted into the cor
responding 5'-O-dimethoxytrityl-3'-O-(beta-cyanoethyl, N,N-diisopropyl
)phosphoramidites and incorporated into different positions of self-co
mplementary oligonucleotides. The influence of modifications on the me
lting temperature of the resulting duplexes was studied.
