LNA (locked nucleic acid): high-affinity targeting of complementary RNA and DNA.
The wide applicability of LNA oligonucleotides for gene silencing and their use for research and diagnostic purposes are documented in a number of recent reports, some of which are described herein.

It is demonstrated here that a high-affinity DNA analog, locked nucleic acid (LNA), confers several desired properties to antisense agents, and LNA/DNA copolymers exhibited potent antisense activity on assay systems as disparate as a G-protein-coupled receptor in living rat brain and an Escherichia coli reporter gene.

It is shown that genetic information can be stored in and recovered from six alternative genetic polymers based on simple nucleic acid architectures not found in nature [xeno-nucleic acids (XNAs)] and selected XNA aptamers, which bind their targets with high affinity and specificity, demonstrating that beyond heredity, specific XNAs have the capacity for Darwinian evolution and folding into defined structures.

The high-resolution structure reveals that the LNA:RNA hybrid adopts an almost canonical A-type duplex morphology, which shows that fully modified LNA oligomers can hybridize with complementary RNA and form duplexes within the Watson-Crick framework.

It is suggested that the change in electronic density at the brim of the minor groove, introduced by the LNA modification, is causing an alteration of the pseudorotational profile of the 3'-flanking nucleotide, thus shifting this sugar equilibrium toward N-type conformation.
