Abstract: | We have synthesized l-type enantiomers (cU and cA) of nucleoside analogues, whose glycosyl bonds are fixed in a low anti conformation (ap glycosyl conformation, [small chi][approximate] 180[degree]), and incorporated them into oligonucleotides to evaluate the hybridization ability with natural DNA and RNA sequences. Although the incorporation of the modified nucleosides into oligonucleotides decreased the hybridization ability with unmodified complementary DNA sequences, the fully-substituted 12mers (cU(12) and cA(12)) still retained the hybridization ability with the complementary unmodified DNA 12mers, regardless of their unnatural l-chirality. In contrast, cU(12) and cA(12) showed different hybridization behavior with complementary unmodified RNA 12mers. cU(12) forms a more stable duplex with rA(12) than the corresponding natural 12mer (dT(12)), whereas cA(12) cannot hybridize with rU(12). Based on the model structure of cU(12)-rA(12), we discuss these experimental results. |
