2′-O,4′-C-methylene-linked ribonucleotide derivatives, named LNA (locked nucleic acid) and BNA (bridged nucleic acid) are nucleic acid analogoues that have shown high-affinity recognition of DNA and RNA, and the employment of LNA oligomers for antisense activity, gene regulation and nucleic acid diagnostics seems promising. Here we show kinetic and thermodynamic results on the interaction of a series of 10 bases long LNA–DNA mixmers, gabmers as well as full length LNA's with the complementary DNA, RNA and LNA oligonucleotides in the presence and absence of 10 mM Mg2+- ions. Our results show no significant differences in the reaction thermodynamics and kinetics between the LNA species, only a tendency to stronger duplex formation with the gabmer and mixmer. Introduction of a few LNA's thus may be a better strategy, than using full length LNA's to obtain an oligonucleotide that markedly increases the strength of duplexes formed with the complementary DNA and RNA.

We report herein our results for locked nucleic acid (LNA)-type oligonucleotides containing pyrene residues. Pyrene has a large hydrophobic and planar surface area and is therefore a potential intercalating unit; furthermore, it is interesting as a fluorescent tag when covalently bound to DNA. Synthesis and hybridization of conformationally locked universal base surrogates are described together with efficient interstrand communication as shown by the formation of pyrene excimer bands for duplexes containing 2'-N-(pyren-1-yl)methyl-2'-amino-LNA monomers positioned in a zipper-like manner within a DNA duplex.

The locked nucleic acid (LNA) monomer is a conformationally restricted nucleotide analogue with an extra 2′-O,4′-C-methylene bridge added to the ribose ring. Oligonucleotides that contain LNA monomers have shown greatly enhanced thermal stability when hybridized to complementary DNA and RNA and are considered most promising candidates for efficient recognition of a given mixed sequence in a nucleic acid duplex and as an antisense molecule. Here the kinetics and thermodynamics of a series of oligonucleotide duplex formations of DNA–DNA and DNA–LNA octamers were studied using stopped-flow absorption measurements at 25°C and melting curves. The reactions of the DNA octamer 5′-CAGGAGCA-3′ with its complementary DNA octamer 5′-TGCTCCTG-3′, and with the LNA octamers 5′-TLGCTCCTG-3′ (LNA-1), 5′-TLGCTLCCTG-3′ (LNA-2) and 5′-TLGCTLCCTLG-3′(LNA-3), containing respectively one, two or three thymidine 2′-O,4′-C-methylene-(D-ribofuranosyl) nucleotide monomers, designated TL, were studied. In all cases were seen fast second-order association reactions with kobs = 2×107M-1˙s-1. At 25°C the dissociation constants of the duplexes obtained from melting curves were: DNA–DNA, 10nM; DNA–LNA-1, 20nM; DNA–LNA-2, 2nM; and DNA–LNA-3, 0.3nM; thus the greatly enhanced duplex stability induced by LNA is confirmed. Since the association rates were all equal this increase in stability is due to slower rates of dissociation of the complexes.

We have been interested in the soluble interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPEC) between DNA and the cationic comb-type copolymers, poly(L-lysine)-graft-dextran (PLL-g-Dex), consisting of a polylysine backbone and abundant hydrophilic graft chains of dextran as a model of nucleic acid-binding proteins. In this paper, we described the kinetic effect of the copolymers on the DNA hybridization. We found that the cationic copolymer at nano molar concentrations in cationic groups accelerated DNA duplex formation by two orders under physiologically relevant conditions.
