There are strong interactions between the bases of oligonucleotides. Based on Watson-Crick principle, they can form stable secondary and tertiary structure such as hairpin, duplex, triplex, G-quartet, pseudoknot, which can serve as the scaffold of molecules. Peptides contain active groups such as amino, carboxyl, imidazole, hydroxyl. A protected Ser-His-Gly-Threoninol phosphoramidite was synthesized in this work and was incorporated into a triplex-forming oligonucleotide. The results indicate that the oligonucleotide containing Ser-His-Gly-Threoninol in the middle could still form triplex with the target duplex and the dissociation constant was 0.5 micromol/L.
