Abstrakt: Homopurine strands are known to form antiparallel triplexes stabilized by G*G and A*A Hoogsteen pairs, which have two hydrogen bonds. But there has been no report on the parallel triplex formation of homopurine involving both adenosine and guanosine to the duplex. In this paper, we first report parallel triplex formation between a homopurine serinol nucleic acid (SNA) strand and an RNA/SNA duplex. Melting profiles revealed that the parallel SNA:RNA*SNA triplex was remarkably stable, even though the A*A pair has a single hydrogen bond. An L -acyclic threoninol nucleic acid (L -aTNA) homopurine strand also formed a stable parallel triplex with an L -aTNA/RNA duplex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
