M. Pressova et al., UV SPECTROSCOPY STUDY ON COMPLEXES OF PHOSPHONATE APA ANALOGS WITH POLY(U) - PROMISING STEP IN PREDICTION OF OLIGONUCLEOTIDE ANALOG PROPERTIES, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 8(10), 1998, pp. 1225-1230
The isopolar nonisosteric phosphonate analogs of ApA differing in the
position of extra methylene group introduced into the sugar-phosphate
backbone, featuring both possible 2',5'- and 3',5'- pairs as well as t
heir conformationally restricted congeners, were investigated for thei
r ability to form complexes with polyU. The results may lead to the sp
ecification of candidates for synthesis of novel oligonucleotides. (C)
