Abstract
[GRAPHICS] The D-beta-ribo, D-beta-xylo, L-alpha-lyxo, and L-alpha-arabino members of the pentopyranosyl (4'-->2') oligonucleotide family show efficient intersys tem cross-pairing among each other. This family of configurationally isomer ic and conformationally well-defined pairing systems offers an opportunity to study structural factors that determine cross-communication between info rmational oligonucleotide systems of different backbone structure.
