It is an object to provide a nucleoside analog that can produce an
oligonucleotide analog in which the two properties of chemical and
biological stability, and the ability to form double strands, are
excellent, and an oligonucleotide analog that includes that nucleoside
analog. This is achieved by a nucleoside analog or salt thereof
represented by Formula (I) below, in which, in Formula (I), R.sup.1 is
any group selected from the group consisting of the group of Formula (1),
the group of Formula (2), the group of Formula (3), the group of Formula
(4), the group of Formula (5), the group of Formula (6), the group of
Formula (7), the group of Formula (8), and any of these groups whose
functional group has been protected by a protecting group, and k, l, m,
and n are each independently an integer from 1 to 10.
