  • Abstract
    Synthesis of an oligonucleotide containing one methylphosphonate locked nucleic acid (LNA) thymine monomer using the phosphoramidite approach is described. The binding affinity of this 9-mer methylphosphonate LNA towards complementary DNA and RNA oligonucleotides was increased compared to the reference DNA, but decreased compared to the reference LNA. In the 9-mer sequence context studied, introduction of a single methylphosphonate LNA monomer, contrary to a single LNA monomer, efficiently inhibits 3′-exonucleolytic degradation.
