BNAs: novel nucleic acid analogs with a bridged sugar moiety.
This article deals with our recent studies on the synthesis of BNAs (Bridged Nucleic Acids), novel nucleic acid analogs bearing a preorganized sugar conformation by a bridged structure. Duplex- and triplex-forming abilities of the BNA modified oligonucleotides are also described.
