Abstract

Novel nucleotide triphosphates, methods of synthesis and process of incorporating these nucleotide triphosphates into oligonucleotides, and isolation of novel nucleic acid catalysts (e.g., ribozymes) are disclosed. Also, described are the use of novel enzymatic nucleic acid molecules to inhibit HER2/neu/ErbB2 gene expression and their applications in human therapy.
