Strategies for preorganization of two binding domains in recognition of single-stranded DNA or RNA targets by triplex formation (Watson–Crick binding is denoted by lines and Hoogsteen binding by dots). In general, the greater the number of links between the two binding domains, the greater the rigidity of the ligand, and the greater the affinity and selectivity is. See text for descriptions of and references for these strategies.
