  • Patent number: 6825338
    Abstract: Selectively functionalized oligonucleotides, methods for making same, and compounds useful therefor are disclosed. The oligonucleotides can be selectively functionalized with a first conjugate group at the 3′-terminial position and optionally functionalized with a second conjugate group at the 5′-terminal position and/or one or more internucleotides. Alternatively, the oligonucleotides can be selectively functionalized with a first conjugate group at the 5′-terminal position and optionally functionalized with a second conjugate group at one or more internucleotides. In yet another embodiment, the oligonucleotides can be functionalized with a first conjugate group at one or more internucleotides and with a second conjugate group at one or more different internucleotides.
