ABSTRACT:
Compositions and methods for modulating the activity of RNA are disclosed. In accordance with preferred embodiments, antisense compositions are prepared comprising targeting and reactive portions. The reactive portions preferably comprise one or two imidazole functionalities conjugated to the targeting oligonucleotide via linkers with or without intervening intercalating moieties. Therapeutics, diagnostics and research methods also are disclosed, as are synthetic nucleosides and nucleoside fragments that can be elaborated into oligonucleotides.
