Journal ArticleDOI
LNA (Locked Nucleic Acids): Synthesis of the adenine, cytosine, guanine, 5-methylcytosine, thymine and uracil bicyclonucleoside monomers, oligomerisation, and unprecedented nucleic acid recognition
Alexei A. Koshkin,Sanjay K. Singh,Poul Nielsen,Vivek K. Rajwanshi,Ravindra Kumar,Michael Meldgaard,Carl Erik Olsen,Jesper Wengel +7 more
TL;DR: Studies of mis-matched sequences show that LNA obey the Watson-Crick base pairing rules with generally improved selectivities compared to the corresponding unmodified reference strands.
Journal ArticleDOI
LNA (locked nucleic acids): synthesis and high-affinity nucleic acid recognition
TL;DR: A novel class of nucleic acid analogues, termed LNA (locked nucleic acids), is introduced following the Watson–Crick base pairing rules, which forms duplexes with complementary DNA and RNA with remarkably increased thermal stabilities and generally improved selectivities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potent and nontoxic antisense oligonucleotides containing locked nucleic acids
Claes Wahlestedt,Peter Salmi,Liam Good,Johanna Kela,Thomas Johnsson,Tomas Hökfelt,Christian Broberger,Frank Porreca,Josephine Lai,Kunkun Ren,Michael H. Ossipov,Alexei A. Koshkin,Nana Jakobsen,Jan Skouv,Henrik Oerum,Mogens Havsteen Jacobsen,Jesper Wengel +16 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that a high-affinity DNA analog, locked nucleic acid (LNA), confers several desired properties to antisense agents, and LNA/DNA copolymers exhibited potent antisense activity on assay systems as disparate as a G-protein-coupled receptor in living rat brain and an Escherichia coli reporter gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
LNA (Locked Nucleic Acid): An RNA Mimic Forming Exceedingly Stable LNA:LNA Duplexes

Journal ArticleDOI
The first analogues of LNA (locked nucleic acids): phosphorothioate-LNA and 2'-thio-LNA.
Ravindra Kumar,Sanjay K. Singh,Alexei A. Koshkin,Vivek K. Rajwanshi,Michael Meldgaard,Jesper Wengel +5 more
TL;DR: A 9-mer phosphorothioate-LNA containing three LNA thymine monomers were able to recognize both complementary DNA and RNA with thermal affinities comparable to those of parent LNA.
