title: Interstrand communication between 2'-N-(pyren-1-yl)methyl-2'-amino-LNA monomers in nucleic acid duplexes: directional control and signalling of full complementarity.
abstract: Very efficient interstrand communication systems in nucleic acid duplexes, based on pyrene excimer formation between 2'-N-(pyren-1-yl)methyl-2'-amino-LNA monomers, demonstrate the versatility of functionalized 2'-amino-LNA monomers for Angstrom-scale chemical engineering.
