title: Sugar modified oligonucleotides. III (1). Synthesis, nuclease resistance and base pairing properties of alpha- and beta-L-octathymidylates.
abstract: Two unnatural L-oligodeoxyribonucleotides, namely alpha- and beta-L-dT8pO(CH2)3OH, have been synthesized. These oligomers are resistant towards nuclease degradation. They do not show any UV detectable base pairing with beta-D-dA8 and poly rA.
