Abstract:
A solid-phase H-phosphonate procedure was developed for the synthesis of oligoribonucleotides containing aliphatic amino linkers with different lengths at the N(4) atom of cytosine. The hybridization properties of modified oligoribonucleotides were studied. Thermal stability of the RNA—RNA* and DNA—RNA* duplexes depends on the position of modified cytosine in the chain and the type of the duplex.
