Abstract
Novel .beta.-lactam monomers bearing various functional groups are prepared. The novel .beta.-lactam monomers can be joined into oligomeric compounds via standard peptide linkages. Useful functional groups include nucleobases as well as polar groups, hydrophobic groups, ionic groups, aromatic groups and/or groups that participate in hydrogen bonding. The oligomeric compounds are useful as diagnostic and research reagents.
