dideoxy-beta-D-erythro-hex-2'-enopryanosyl)thymine was used as a nucle
oside substitute in the synthesis of the dimer ApT. CD studies on the
dimer show that it adopts stacked, B-form mini-helices in solution. T
he title compound, relative to natural ApT, possesses an increased res
istance to degradation by nucleases.
