title: Synthesis and characterization of oligodeoxyribonucleotides carrying arrays of intercalating groups.
abstract: A novel strategy for attaching the functional groups to oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) is described. A thymidine carrying anthraquinone derivative at the N3 position (AnT) was synthesized and introduced into ODNs using the phosphoramidite method on a DNA synthesizer. Py-Pu-Py type triplex formation of ODNs was enhanced by attaching AnT to the 5'-end of the third strand.
