Cover Picture: Locked Nucleic Acids and Intercalating Nucleic Acids in the Design of Easily Denaturing Nucleic Acids: Thermal Stability Studies (ChemBioChem 12/2004) [PDF]
The cover picture shows fully modified locked nucleic acids (LNAs, orange) and intercalating nucleic acids (INAs®, red) with several insertions of (R)‐1‐O‐(1‐pyrenylmethyl)glycerol, both displaying higher binding affinity to native DNA (white) than to each other. In their full paper on p. 1673 ff, E. B. Pedersen et al.

Easily denaturing nucleic acids derived from intercalating nucleic acids: thermal stability studies, dual duplex invasion and inhibition of transcription start [PDF]
The bulged insertions of (R)-1-O-(pyren-1-ylmethyl)glycerol (monomer P) in two complementary 8mer DNA strands (intercalating nucleic acids) opposite to each other resulted in the formation of an easily denaturing duplex, which had lower thermal stability (21.0 degrees C) than the wild-type double-stranded DNA (dsDNA, 26.0 degrees C), but both modified ...

Thermal Stability of Peptide Nucleic Acid Complexes.
Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a neutral nucleic acid analogue that base pairs with itself and natural nucleic acids. PNA-nucleic acid complexes are more thermally stable than the corresponding complexes of natural nucleic acids.

Biopolymers are easily denatured by heating, a change in pH or chemical substances when they are immobilized on a substrate. To prevent denaturation of biopolymers, we developed a method to trap a polynucleotide on a substrate by hydrogen bonding using ...
