Deoxyribooligonucleotides containing 19 repeating bases of A, T or U were prepared with normal phosphodiester (dA19, dT19, dU19) or methyl-phosphonate (dA*19, dT*19, dU*19) linkages. Complexes of these strands have been investigated at 1: 1 and 1: 2 molar ratios (purine: pyrimidine) by thermal melting and gel electrophoresis. There are dramatic sequence dependent differences in stabilities of complexes containing methylphosphonate strands. Duplexes of dA*19with dT19or dU19have sharp melting curves, increased Tm values, and slopes of Tm versus log (sodium ion activity) plots reduced by about one half relative to their unmodified ‘parent’ duplexes. Duplexes of dA19with either dT*19or dU*19, however, have broader melting curves, reduced Tm values at most salt concentrations and slopes of less than one tenth the values for the unmodified duplexes. Duplex stabilization due to reduced phosphate charge repulsion is offset in the pyrimidine methylphosphonate complexes by steric and other substituent effects. Triple helical complexes with dA19+ 2dT19and dA19+ 2dU19, which can be detected by biphasic melting curves and gel electrophoresis, are stable at increased Na+or Mg+2concentrations. Surprisingly, however, no triple helix forms, even at very high salt concentrations, when any normal strand(s) is replaced by a methylphosphonate strand. Since triple helical complexes with methylphosphonates have been reported for shorter oligomers, inhibition with larger oligomers may vary due to their length and extent of substitution.
