Abstract

A polymer composition effective to bind in a sequence-specific manner to a target sequence of a duplex polynucleotide containing different Watson-Crick basepair oreientaions. The composition includes an uncharged backbone with 5- or 6-membered cyclic backbone structures and selected bases attached to the backbone structures effective to hydrogen bond specifically with different oriented basepairs in the target sequence.
