S3 Melting temperature measurements. All single strands (sense and antisense) were dissolved in nuclease-free water to a concentration of 1 mM. For the melting duplexes, 20 µL of each strand were mixed together, 100 µL of 10×PBS, pH 7.4 were added, followed by 860 µL of nuclease-free water, resulting in 1 mL of stock duplex in 1×PBS. The stock duplex was diluted ~8 × with 1×PBS buffer, and the concentration was adjusted to AU at 260 nm of 0.5 ODU/mL (± 5%) for each melting duplex. Melting point temperature (Tm) was experimentally determined on a DU 800 Series UV/Vis spectrophotometer equipped with the highperformance peltier temperature controller, the Micro Auto 6 Tm cell holder (six 325 µL Tm microcells with stopper) and the Tm analysis software. Duplexes were analyzed in the six 325 µL-samples format with duplex denaturation and renaturation profiles measured within a temperature range from 20.0 to 80.0 ⁰C with temperature ramping of 1.0 ⁰C/min. All Tm values were calculated using the first derivative method provided with the Tm analysis software and average values from two separate experiments (independent duplex preparations), each one consisting of two independent Tm measurements were calculated for each melting duplex. Average values were calculated using Microsoft Excel. SVPD stability measurements and graphs. DNA single strands solution were prepared at 0.1 mg/mL concentration in 50 mM TRIS-HCl (pH 8) buffer, containing 10 mM MgCl2. 1 mU/mL snake venom phosphodiesterase I (SVPD) was added to the DNA mixture prior to first injection and kinetics were monitored for 24 h at room temperature. Time points (0–24 h) were injected directly on the analytical HPLC ion-exchange column (one time point injection

S4 every 1 h) from the same sample preparation and analyzed by ion-exchange using a Dionex DNAPac PA200 analytical column at 30 ⁰C column temperature. A gradient of 37% to 52% 1 M NaBr, 10% CH3CN, 20 mM Na2PO4 buffer at pH 11, over 10 min with a flow rate of 1 mL/min was used to analyze each sample. Peak area integration at λ = 260 nm was used to calculate percentage of enzymatic degradation for each time point, as normalized per the area of the sample at time 0 h. Decay curves were plotted using XLFit in Microsoft Excel. Half-lives were determined at the time corresponding of 50% of total normalized integration area (50% of degradation). The enzymatic degradation method was calibrated at each run for a standard enzyme control oligonucleotide: dTdTdTdTdTdTdTdTdTdTdTdTdTdTdTdTdTdTdT●dT,

phosphorothioate (PS) diester linkage and dT is 2′-deoxythymidine nucleotide; with halflife of the enzyme control oligonucleotide being 2.5 h ± 0.3h. Each degradation experiment was run in duplicates. Representative decay curves and HPLC plots are shown below:

X-ray crystallography, Materials and Methods, Diffraction Data and Crystal Structure of Nucleosides Crystallization The (R)-C5′-Me-2′-FU-containing duplex [r(CGAAXUCG)]2 (X=(R)-C5′-Me-2′-FU) was crystallized by sitting-drop vapor diffusion with 1 mM oligonucleotide mixed 1:1 with a solution of 10% 2-methyl-2,4pentanediol (MPD), 40 mM sodium cacodylate pH 5.5, 20 mM hexamine cobalt(III) chloride, 12 mM sodium chloride, 80 mM potassium chloride and equilibrated against a reservoir of 40% MPD. The (S)-C5′-Me-2′-FU-containing duplex [r(BrCGAAXUCG)]2 (X=(S)-C5′-Me-2′-FU) with a 5′-terminal 5bromo-C nucleoside (BrC) was crystallized by sitting-drop vapor diffusion with 1 mM oligonucleotide mixed 1:1 with a solution of 10% MPD, 40 mM sodium cacodylate pH 5.5, 20 mM hexamine cobalt(III) chloride, 20 mM MgCl2 and equilibrated against a reservoir of 40% MPD. The reference dT-containing duplex [r(CGAAdTUCG)]2 was crystallized by sitting-drop vapor diffusion with 1 mM oligonucleotide mixed 1:1 with a solution of 10% MPD, 40 mM sodium cacodylate pH 5.5, 20 mM hexamine cobalt(III) chloride, 80 mM sodium chloride, 20 mM magnesium chloride and equilibrated against a reservoir of 40% MPD. X-ray diffraction data collection Nucleoside: The diffraction intensities were measured at 100(2) K on a X-ray diffractometer system equipped with multilayer mirror optics and Cu-IµS micro-focus radiation source (λ=1.54178 Å). The cell parameters were obtained from the least-squares refinement of carefully centered reflections in a wide 2θ range. The frames were integrated with a V8.34A software package, using a narrowframe algorithm. Data were corrected for absorption effects using a multi-scan method, SADABS, V2012. . All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically, and hydrogens atoms were introduced in calculated positions with isotropic thermal parameters set 20% to 30% greater than their bonding partners. The structures were refined with full-matrix least–squares on F2 until convergence. Oligonucleotide Duplex: Diffraction data for the (R)-C5′-Me-2′-FU duplex were collected in-house on a rotating-anode X-ray generator equipped with a CCD area detector and a cryostat. Diffraction data

S8 for the reference dT- and (S)-C5′-Me-2′-FU-containing duplex crystals were collected using synchrotron radiation at the Life Sciences-Collaborative Access Team, LS-CAT, 21-ID-D beam line at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory. All crystals were flash-cooled directly from the crystallization mother liquor and maintained at 100 K during data collection. Data for a brominated (S)-C5′-Me-2′-FU crystal were collected near the Br K-edge (wavelength 0.91833 Å). Data reduction was performed using Proteum software for the in-house data and using HKL20001 for all synchrotron data. Selected crystal data and data collection parameters are summarized in Table S1. Structure determination and refinement The structures of the reference dT-containing and the (R)-C5′-Me-2′-FU-containing duplexes were determined by molecular replacement using the program PHASER2 with an A-form RNA octamer duplex as the search model. The structure of the (S)-C5′-Me-2′-FU duplex was phased by Br-SAD using the program HKL2MAP and SHELXC/D/E.3-6 Refinements were performed using PHENIX7 or REFMAC58, and manual fitting was performed using COOT.9 Final refinement parameters are summarized in Table S1. Crystals of the (R)-C5′-Me-2′-FU-containing and reference duplexes are both of space group P43212 with two independent duplexes per asymmetric unit. The presence of two duplexes per asymmetric unit in the structure of the (R)-C5′-Me-2′-FU duplex allows analysis of the conformation of four independent octamers that contain the trimer 5'-AXU (X=(R)-C5′-Me-2′-FU). Superimposition of the four trinucleotides revealed nearly identical conformations (Figure 5A; main paper). When one of the corresponding 5'-A(dT)U trimers of the four independent strands of the reference duplex was overlaid as well, it was clear that 5'-(R)-C-methylation causes only minor adjustments in the backbone geometry (Figure 5B; main paper). Indeed, the backbone torsion angles of (R)-C5′-Me-2′-FU nucleotides fall into the standard sc-/ap/sc+/sc+/ap/sc- ranges (α to ζ) with the sugar 2'-fluoro-2'-deoxyribose exhibiting a C3'-endo pucker (North range). The (S)-C5′-Me2′-FU-containing duplex also crystallized in space group P43212, but the a and b unit cell constants are shorter compared to the dT and (R)-C5′-Me-2′-FU duplex crystals and the asymmetric unit

S9 contains a single duplex. Moreover, the conformations of the two strands differ in the region of the modified nucleotide. The backbone torsion angles in one of them (strand B) fall into the standard sc/ap/sc+/sc+/ap/sc- range, although there are subtle adjustments in the angles to avoid a short contact between the (S)-C5′-methyl group and the 2′-hydroxyl group of the 5’ nucleotide. In the opposite strand (strand A), the backbone of the modified nucleotide exhibits a stretched conformation with all three angles α, β, and γ falling into the ap range. Four cobalt hexamine ions fill the major groove of the (S)-C5′-Me-2′-FU-containing duplex. Data deposition Coordinates and structure factors have been deposited in the Protein Data Bank (www.rcsb.org) with ID codes 5DER ((R)-C5′-Me-2′-FU), 5D8T ((S)-C5′-Me-2′-FU) and 5DEK (reference dT).
