Abstract
A 2′-O_methyloligo(pyrimidine)nucleotide containing a 5-methyl-2′-O-methyluridine (I) forms a more stable triple-helix with double-stranded DNA than the 5-unmodified parent probe, whereas 5-methyl-2′-O-methylcytidine (II) destabilizes the triplex. It is also shown that at low salt concentrations, the triplexes with 2′-O-methyl RNAs are more stable than the corresponding DNA-triplex.
