During a previous, exploratory project in our group, it was observed that duplexes formed by oligonucleotides modified with polar 2'-O-substituents were more tolerant towards the addition of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) than RNA and DNA duplexes [1]. Inspired ...
The preparation of oligoribonucleotides is of great interest for structural and functional investigations in biomolecular chemistry and biology. Relevant RNAs are relatively long and contain often modifications. Two methods for their preparation are curren ...
