摘要
The melting properties of hexameric oligonucleotide AgTgAgTgAgT, in which the phosphodiester linkages of the DNA have been replaced by guanidium linkages, have been evaluated. Using the juvenile esterase gene as a target, the binding of a 20-mer DNG/DNA chimera that includes AgTgAgTgAgT is more than 10(5.7) stronger than the binding of 20-mer composed solely of DNA.
