Effects of hydrogen bonding clamps on the selectivity of triplex DNA receptors were studied. Incorporation of a 5-methyl-2-thiocytosine base to the parallel homopyrimidine region of a triplex receptor enabled selective molecular recognition of an inosine ligand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
