experimental part, p. 7978 - 7987 (2009/10/10)
Nonpolar nucleosides with varying size and shape have been used to study the hydrogen-bonding stabilization and steric effects on RNA interference. The uracil and adenine residues of siRNA guide strands have been replaced by nonpolar isosteres of uracil a

(Formula Presented) Better than normal: RNA-interference studies with mismatched target RNA have demonstrated sequence selectivity (at the single-nucleotide level) at many different positions of the RNA strand. The use of rF in place of rU at position 7 a
