title: Ring-closing metathesis reactions in nucleic acid chemistry-cyclic dinucleotides for targeting secondary nucleic acid structures.
abstract: Cyclic dinucleotides are synthesized using a ring-closing metathesis protocol and incorporated into oligonucleotides. A stabilization of a three-way junction is observed by an oligodeoxynucleotide containing a central 2'-C to 3'-phosphate connection.
