2′-C-Methyluridine phosphoramidite: a new building block for the preparation of RNA analogues carrying the 2′-hydroxyl group

TLDR
A new stereoselective synthesis of 2′-C-methyluridine is expected to generate RNA analogues potentially useful in applications where proper RNA folding is required since the 2-hydroxyl group is conserved.

N-substituted-aminomethylene bridged bicyclic nucleic acid analogs

TL;DR: The bicyclic nucleosides comprising a substituted amino group in the bridge are useful for enhancing properties of oligomeric compounds including nuclease resistance, in certain embodiments, the oligomerics hybridize to a portion of a target RNA resulting in loss of normal function of the target RNA as mentioned in this paper.
