Conjugates of oligo(2'-O-methylribonucleotides) with minor groove binders as new sequence-specific agents recognizing both grooves of double-stranded DNA

Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2003 May-Aug;22(5-8):1179-82. doi: 10.1081/NCN-120022830.

Abstract

Design, synthesis and physico-chemical studies of new pyrimidine oligo(2'-O-methylribonucleotide) conjugates with one or two oligo(pyrrolecarboxamide) minor groove binders (MGB) are described.
