Synthesis and properties of oligonucleotides modified with 2′-O-(2-carboxyethyl)nucleotides and their carbamoyl derivatives

Abstract

2′-O-Methyl oligoribonucleotides with four kinds of 2′-O-modified uridine derivatives were synthesised. Their duplex stability, hydration behavior and exonuclease resistance were studied by spectroscopic analyses and molecular dynamics simulations. Consequently, 2′-O-modification of the uridine residue with 2-carbamoylethyl or 2-(N-methylcarbamoyl)ethyl groups resulted in a significant improvement of the exonuclease resistance without the loss of duplex stability.
