A novel class of conformationally restricted oligonucleotide analogues: synthesis of 2′,3′-bridged monomers and RNA-selective hybridisation

Abstract

A novel 2′,3′-bicyclic nucleoside 5 has been synthesised and incorporated into oligonucleotide analogues resulting in strong and selective binding to an RNA complement.
