title: Stepwise synthesis of RNA conjugates carrying peptide sequences for RNA interference studies.
abstract: Oligoribonucleotide conjugates carrying nuclear localization peptide sequences at the 3'-end were prepared stepwise on a single support. The siRNA duplex carrying the nuclear localization peptide sequence at the 3'-end of the passenger strand has similar inhibitory properties as those of unmodified or cholesterol-modified RNA duplexes.
