title: DNA triplex structures are stabilized by the incorporation of 3'-endo blocked pyrimidine nucleosides in the Hoogsteen strand.
abstract: A short route to pyrimidine locked nucleosides has been developed for their incorporation in triplex forming oligonucleotides (TFO). Compared to oligonucleotides built with standard nucleosides, the modified TFOs containing 3'-endo blocked residues formed, with their corresponding DNA duplexes, more stable triple helix systems, an effect which might be ascribed to the 3'-endo pucker of the modified nucleoside residues.
