Abstract excerpt
Unlocked nucleic acid (UNA) is an acyclic analogue of RNA that can be introduced into RNA or DNA oligonucleotides. The increased flexibility conferred by the acyclic structure fundamentally affects the strength of base pairing, creating opportunities for improved applications and new insights into molecular recognition. Here we test how UNA substitutions affect allele-selective inhibition of expression of...
