Abstract

To expand the sequence of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) targets in a triplex formation, 2',4'-BNAs (2'-O,4'-C-methylene bridged nucleic acids) having imidazoles as a nucleobase were synthesized and incorporated into oligonucleotides. Triplex-forming ability of the modified oligonucleotides was evaluated by using melting temperature (Tm) measurements.
