RNase H mediated degradation of RNA on the beta-DNA . RNA duplex was i
nhibited by the presence of extra 2'-deoxypyrimidine homooligomer. The
effect was dependent on the nature of the nucleobase, glycoside bond
configuration, and the internucleotide linkage of the extra homooligom
er used. Thus, alpha-anomeric 2'-deoxycytidylate phosphorothioate exhi
bited the most potent inhibitory effect (> 40%) on RNase H. Copyright
