Modified oligonucleotides containing both A-form conformation geometry and B-form conformation geometry nucleotides are disclosed. The B-form geometry allows the oligonucleotide to serve as substrates for RNase H when bound to a target nucleic acid strand. The A-form geometry imparts properties to the oligonucleotide that modulate binding affinity and nuclease resistance. By utilising C2' endo sugars or O4' endo sugars, the B-form characteristics are imparted to a portion of the oligonucleotide. The A-form characteristics are imparted via use of either 2'-O-modified nucleotides that have 3' endo geometries or use of end caps having particular nuclease stability or by use of both of these in conjunction with each other.
本研究公开了含有 A 型构象几何和 B 型构象几何核苷酸的修饰寡核苷酸。B 型几何结构可使寡核苷酸在与目标核酸链结合时成为 RNase H 的底物。A 型几何结构赋予了寡核苷酸调节结合亲和力和核酸酶抗性的特性。通过利用 C2'内切糖或 O4'内切糖,可将 B 型特性赋予部分寡核苷酸。通过使用具有 3'内切几何结构的 2'-O 修饰核苷酸,或使用具有特殊核酸酶稳定性的端盖,或通过同时使用这两种核苷酸,可赋予 A 型特性。
