MODIFIED 5' DIPHOSPHATE NUCLEOSIDES AND OLIGOMERIC COMPOUNDS PREPARED THEREFROM

摘要

Provided herein are modified 5′ diphosphate nucleosides and oligomeric compounds prepared therefrom. More particularly, modified 5′ diphosphate nucleosides are provided that can be further modified at the 2′ and 5′ positions. In some embodiments, the oligomeric compounds provided herein are expected to hybridize to a portion of a target RNA resulting in loss of normal function of the target RNA. The oligomeric compounds are also expected to be useful as primers and probes in diagnostic applications.
