2 '-Substituted 2-amino-3-methylpyridine ribonucleosides in triplex-forming oligonucleotides: triplex stability is determined by chemical environment

A new synthetic route to the phosphoramidite monomer of 2-amino-3-methyl-5-(2′-O-methyl-β-d-ribofuranosyl)pyridine (Me-MAP) and its 2′-O-methoxyethyl analogue (MOE-MAP) has been established using d-ribose and 2-amino-3-methyl-5-bromopyridine as precursors. Ultraviolet melting and DNase I footprintin...
