Thermal stabilities of unmodified and
2′-SCF3 modified oligoribonucleotides. UV-melting
profiles of (A) self-complementary
8 nt RNA, (B) 15 nt RNA hairpin, (C) 17 nt RNA hairpin, and (D) 14
nt RNA duplex. Conditions: cRNA = 8 μM
for profiles A and B, 4 μM for profiles C and D; 10 mM Na2HPO4, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.0. Nucleotide abbreviations
in red indcate the 2′-SCF3 modified position.
