Rna targeted 2'-modified oligonucleotides that are conformationally preorganized

摘要

2'-O-modified ribosyl nucleosides and modified oligonucleotides containing such nucleotides are disclosed. Oligonucleotides are disclosed that have increased binding affinity as shown by molecular modeling experiments. The 2'-O-modified nucleosides of the invention include ring structures that position the sugar moiety of the nucleosides preferentially in 3' endo geometries.
