Abstract
Oligothymidilates with repeating inserts of 1-(beta-D-2'-deoxy-2'-fluo ropentafuranosyl) U),1-(beta-D-2'-deoxy-threo-pentafuranosyl)thymine ( xT)an d alpha-oligodeoxyribonucleotide alpha(G(2)T(12)G(2)) were synth esized. Hybrid duplexes were obtained to study the physico-chemical pr operties (melting curves, CD-spectra) and the interaction with E. coli ribonuclease H. It was found that the modified hybrid duplex prA(18)/ TT(fUTT)(6) did not bind the enzyme, the modified hybrid duplex prA(18 )/(xTTT)(6) inhibited oligoriboadenylate cleavage by RNase H in hybrid duplexes prA(20)/(G(2)T(20)) and prA(14)/T-16 as well as the modified hybrid duplex prA(14)/alpha(G(2)T(12)G(2)).
