Abstract

A polymer composition is disclosed composed of morpholino subunit structures which are linked together by uncharged, achiral linkages. These linkages are one to three atoms in length, joining the morpholino nitrogen of one subunit to the 5' exocyclic carbon of an adjacent subunit. Each subunit contains a purine or pyrimidine base-pairing moiety effective to bind by hydrogen bonding to a specific base or base-pair in a target polynucleotide.
