1. A method for detecting the presence or absence of an RNA in a biological sample suspected of containing said RNA comprising:

  • contacting a sample with a compound having the structure;

    embedded imagewherein R1 and R2 are independently H, a nucleotide, oligonucleotide or polyamine species and at least one of R1 and R2 is a purine containing oligonucleotide, R3 is a linear or cyclic non-aromatic polyamine species, and X is H, O—

    R11, S—

    R11, F, Cl, Br, CN, CF3, OCF3, OCN, SOCH3, SO2CH3, ONO2, N3, HN2, heterocylcoalkyl, heterocycloalkaryl, aminoalkylamino, polyalkylamino, substituted silyl, a reporter molecule, an RNA cleaving group, wherein R11 is H, C1 to C10 straight or branched chain lower alkyl or substituted lower alkyl, C2 to C10 straight or branched chain lower alkenyl or substituted lower alkyenyl, C3 to C10 straight or branched chain lower alkynyl or substituted lower alkynyl, a 14C containing lower alkyl, lower alkenyl or lower alkynyl, C7 to C14 substituted or unsubstituted alkyaryl or aralkyl, a 14C containing C7 to C14 alkaryl or aralkyl, alicyclic, heterocyclic, a reporter molecule, a RNA cleaving group;

    said compound being specifically hybridizable with said RNA; and

    detecting the presence or absence of hybridization of the compound to the sample wherein hybridization is indicative of the presence of RNA in the sample.
