Abstract

Novel chiral compounds that mimic and/or modulate the activity of wild-type nucleic acids are disclosed. In general, the compounds are phosphorothioate oligonucleotides wherein the 5′, and the 3′-terminal internucleoside linkages are chirally Sp and internal internucleoside linkages are chirally Rp.
