RNA sequences having up to three consecutive internal amidelinkages were synthesized and studied using UV and NMR spectroscopy. The amide modifications did not interfere with normal base-pairing and A-type RNA conformation. Three consecutive amides were well tolerated in the passenger strand of siRNA and caused little change in RNAi activity.
