title: Synthesis of hexanucleotide analogues containing diisopropylsilyl internucleotide linkages.
abstract: The synthesis of two silyl-linked hexanucleotide analogues is described. Hypochromicity and CD measurements indicate that the thymidine hexanucleotide analogue bears a strong resemblance to its phosphodiester-linked counterpart.
