title: Sugar-thioacetamide backbone in oligodeoxyribonucleosides for specific recognition of nucleic acids.
abstract: The amide linkage being shorter than the natural phosphate linkage, an additional atom is introduced into oligodeoxyribonucleosides (ODNs) with sugar-thioacetamide backbone that show very good RNA recognition properties.
