Thermal denaturation studies (Tm values) of AM-ODN with complementary DNA or RNA and their half-life evaluations against FBS395.
| ODN (5′ → 3′)a | T m with DNA (°C) | T m with RNA (°C) | t 1/2 b (h) |
|---|---|---|---|
| d(TTTTTCCTGATAGTTTTT) | 55.5 | 56.1 | <1 |
| d(TAMTAMTAMTAMTCCTGATAGTAMTAMTAMTAMT) | 52.3 | 54.6 | ∼6 |
| d(U̲U̲U̲U̲U̲CCTGATAGU̲U̲U̲U̲U̲) | 47.8 | 58.6 | <1 |
AM and U̲ refer to the amide internucleoside linkage and 2′-OMe-uridine respectively.
Approximate values based on raw data.
