Modification of the ribose unit in DNA and RNA profoundly influences the self-rcognition and the biological properties of the nucleic acids. Conformational restriction of the ribose units, as in LNA and tricyclo-DNA, has been identified as a powerful tool to increase DNA and RNA affinity as well as biological stability and antisense properties. Apart from that sugar modified DNA analogues, as homo-DNA, have shown to be orthogonal base-pairing systems which by virtue of non-crosscommunicating with the natural nucleic acids open novel applications in biotechnology.
