“…One LNA diastereoisomer, namely a-L-LNA, has been studied intensively and has shown very efficient recognition of complementary strands, in particular complementary RNA [19,22,23,26,28,29]. Accordingly, incorporation of three 2'-O,4'-C-methyleneot-L-ribofuranosyl thymine ot-L-LNA monomers into either a DNA strand [28] (cf., entry 9, ot-L-LNA/DNA chimera) or a 2'-OMe-RNA strand [26] (cf., entry 10, ot-L-LNA/2'-OMe-RNA chimera) lead to significantly increased Tm values.…”
