Research Abstract |
In this work, I aimed to prepare a new chemically modified RNA molecule exhibiting a biological equivalence with natural RNA. To be concrete, 4'-selenoRNA and 2'-OMe-4'-selenoRNA, in which the furanose ring oxygen is replaced by a seleno atom, were prepared and their properties were examined. Accordingly, these RNA molecules showed a higher hybridization property and nuclease resistance.
