title: Synthesis and hybridization properties of oligodeoxynucleotides containing 3'-deoxy-3'-C-methyleneuridine.
abstract: 3'-Deoxy-3'-C-methyleneuridine nucleoside 1 has been incorporated into oligodeoxynucleotides. Relative to the unmodified references, oligomers containing nucleoside 1 displayed reduced binding affinities towards complementary DNA and RNA with a tendency towards RNA-selective hybridization.
