For example, nucleoside analogs in which the furanose ring has been replaced by other heterocyclic rings such as isoxazoles, isoxazolines, or triazoles [4].

DFT study of conformational flexibilities and interaction profiles of new class of nucleoside analogs having nucleic acid bases pairs (pyrimidine analogues-adenine) linked through a 1,2,3-triazole spacer

The term "Locked Nucleic Acids" was coined by Exiqon to emphasize that the usual conformational freedom of the furanose ring in standard nucleosides is restricted in LNA(TM) due to a methylene linker connecting the 2'-O position to the 4'-C position.
