  • Methods and compositions for triple helix formation
    Patent number: 6403302
    Abstract: Improved oligonucleotides and processes for their use for specific recognition of a target sequence in double-stranded nucleic acid through the formation of an alternate strand triple-helix. The triple-helix forming oligonucleotides bind in a parallel and antiparallel orientation, respectively, to target sequences on alternate strands of the double helical nucleic acid. The oligonucleotides are useful as diagnostic or therapeutic agents and can incorporate an appropriate moiety in one or more nucleotides in the triple-helix forming oligonucleotide.
