Structures of the locked nucleoside 2′-O-4′-C-methylene-guanosine (LNA), where B stands for a nucleobase (1); the unlocked nucleoside 2′-3′-acyclic-ribonucleotide (UNA) (2); 4-thio-unlocked-uridine (3); 2′-C-piperazino-unlocked-uridine (4); an acyclic thymine derivative, (S)-GNA-T (5); and the beta- and alpha-thymidines (6).
