ABSTRACT
An effective approach to promote sequence-specific RNA cleavage by an antisense 2'-O-methyloligonucleotide with a terpyridine.Cu(II) complex attached at the 5'-end was developed. We have synthesized a Cu(II) complex 3'-conjugate, which when used in a tandem fashion, greatly enhanced the RNA cleavage efficiency.
