title: Properties of triple helices formed by oligonucleotides containing 8-aminopurines.
abstract: The synthesis of parallel hairpins carrying 8-aminopurines is described. These hairpins have a high affinity for specific polypyrimidine sequences resulting in the formation of very stable triplexes.
