Thermodynamics of RNA duplexes modified with unlocked nucleic acid nucleotides [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2010 Thermodynamics provides insights into the influence of modified nucleotide residues on stability of nucleic acids and is crucial for designing duplexes with given properties. In this article, we introduce detailed thermodynamic analysis of RNA duplexes modified with unlocked nucleic acid (UNA) nucleotide residues.
