Stereospecific backbone methylation of pyrrolidine-amide oligonucleotide mimics (POM).
The introduction of (7'S)-methyl groups into the backbone of pyrrolidine-amide oligonucleotide mimics (POM) does not interfere with high affinity recognition of complementary nucleic acids, whereas (7'R)-methylation disrupts hybridisation significantly.
