title: Thermodynamic studies on hairpin forming antisense-oligodeoxynucleotides directed against hepatitis C virus RNA.
abstract: Phosphorothioate and benzyl-modified antisense-oligodeoxynucleotides directed against nucleotides 334-350 of the Hepatitis C Virus RNA form surprisingly stable hairpins. These data contribute to solve a structural detail information in search for a global secondary structure model of the Non Coding Region (NCR) of HCV.
