title: Synthesis and hybridization property of an oligonucleotide analog containing a 1',3'-di-O-methylene-alpha-D-fructose backbone.
abstract: Hydrogen phosphonate monomers of T (thymine) and C(m) (5-methylcytosine) bearing a 1',3'-di-O-methylene-alpha-D-fructose sugar moiety were synthesized and incorporated into an oligonucleotide. Hybridization studies by thermal denaturation experiment indicated that this oligonucleotide did not form a duplex with the complementary RNA target.
