In the past year major advances have been made in the design, synthesis and characterization of two classes of modified oligonucleotides. In the first class, the phosphodiester backbone of 2'-deoxyribo-oligonucleotides has been replaced in several different ways. The second group represents a completely different type of oligonucleotide modification in which the backbone and the 2'-deoxyribose moieties are replaced by amino acids. These advances present new possibilities for the pharmaceutical applications of modified oligonucleotides in antisense strategies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009696 Nucleic Acids High molecular weight polymers containing a mixture of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides chained together by ribose or deoxyribose linkages. Nucleic Acid,Acid, Nucleic,Acids, Nucleic
D009841 Oligonucleotides Polymers made up of a few (2-20) nucleotides. In molecular genetics, they refer to a short sequence synthesized to match a region where a mutation is known to occur, and then used as a probe (OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBES). (Dorland, 28th ed) Oligonucleotide

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
