2’ F-U
2'-Fluoro-deoxyuridine (2'-F-U) confers thermodynamical stability to an oligonucleotide during hybridization of the oligo with its target. When incorporated into an antisense, the duplex Tm increases by 1.8°C per 2'-F residue added, compared to the native antisense. In RNA oligos, it is suggestable to additionally phosphorothiolate the 2'-F RNA phosphodiester linkages, to increase the oligo resistance to RNase H.
