Abstract
Oligonucleotide-mimicking macromolecules that have improved nuclease resistance are provided. Replacement of the normal phosphorodiester inter-sugar linkages found in natural oligonucleotides with four atom linking groups provide unique compounds that are useful in regulating RNA expression and in therapeutics. Methods of synthesis and use also are disclosed.
