This invention relates to modified short interfering RNA (siRNA) nucleic acid molecules, particularly siRNA's which have been modified by the addition of a 2-0-guanidinopropyl (GP) modified nucleoside. In particular the invention relates to modified siRNAs which are capable of silencing target sequences, methods of treating and preventing infection by using the siRNAs, medicaments containing the siRNAs and use of the siRNAs.
