Hole transfer in LNA and 5-Me-2'-deoxyzebularine-modified DNA.

We report the measurement of hole-transfer rate constants (k(ht)) in locked nucleic acid (LNA) and 5-Me-2'-deoxyzebularine (B)-modified DNA. LNA modification, which makes DNA more rigid, caused a decrease of more than 2 orders of magnitude in k(ht), whereas B modification, which increases DNA flexibility, increased k(ht) by more than 20-fold. The present results clearly showed that hole-transfer efficiency in DNA can be increased by increasing DNA flexibility.
