Abstract

Novel synthetic oligomers of unique three-dimensional structure comprising homologous and heterologous blocks, some of which may self-associate are described. Also disclosed is a synthetic oligonucleotide that includes 5-fluorocytosine residues at positions corresponding to methylation sites of DNA-cytosine methyltransferase and a method for preparing such a molecule.
