22. Given the high affinity of D-HNA for natural complements, particularly D-RNA, see refs. [6,7] and: G. Kolb, S. Reigadas, C. Boiziau, A. van Aerschot, A. Arzumanov, M. J. Gait, P. Herdewijn, J.-J. Toulmé, Biochemistry 2005, 44, 2926-2933, it can be anticipated that the L-HNA system presents the proper requirements to hybridize with L-RNA with high affinity, and therefore to be conveniently used as a spiegelmer construct.

34. Compounds 13 and 14 had already been evaluated as potential inhibitors of HIV (strain HIB in MT4 cells), HCMV (strain AD169 in MRC5 cells) and HSV-1 (Vero cells) infections. Unfortunately, they were inactive in these assays,

In our hands, these compounds were also found inactive against parainfluenzal, reovirus-1, Sindbis and Punta Toro viruses (Vero cells), feline corona and feline herpes viruses (CRFK cells), HSV-1, HSV-2 and vaccinia virus (Hel cells), respiratory syncytial virus (HeLa cells), vesicular stomatitis virus (Hel and HeLa cells), Coxsackie B4 virus (Vero and HeLa cells), influenza A H1N1 subtype, influenza A H3N2 subtype and influenza B viruses (MDCK cells).

39. Hybridisation with unnatural oligonucleotides, which has been primarily carried out for the in-depth examination of heterochiral associations, can have several applications. As mentioned before, investigations have already been carried out to study the conformational and/or chiral selection of oligonucleotides (see ref. [12]). Depending on the opportunity to have an orthogonal oligonucleotide pairing system, such as β-D-homo-DNA, useful practical applications as molecular beacons in DNA diagnostics have also been developed: C. Crey-Desbiolles, D.-R. Ahn, C.J. Leumann, Nucleic Acids Res. 2005, 33, e77.

45. This represents a further proof of the enantiomeric purity of the synthesised L-HNA.

48. This result is corroborated by the X-ray analysis of ds-D-HNA, which has demonstrated that the latter forms a right-handed double helix: R. Declercq, A. Van Aerschot, R.J. Read, P. Herdewijn, L. Van Meervelt, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 928-933.
49. The accurate amount of double strand compared to that of the single strands in each LC-MS experiment can obviously depend on how stable the complex is, and therefore this experiment should not be taken into account for a quantitative analysis.
