Abstract

The affinity of amide-linked 5'-aminoacyl and 5'-dipeptidyl DNA octamers for two RNA undecamers with 3'-overhangs was measured via UV melting analysis. A sequence-dependent increase in melting points was observed. At low ionic strength, two appended lysine residues elevate melting points more than two additional A:U base pairs.
