Peptide nucleic acids harness dual information codes in a single molecule.

Chemical Communications, 2020
Nature encodes the information required for life in two fundamental biopolymers: nucleic acids and proteins. Peptide nucleic acid (PNA), a synthetic analog comprised of nucleobases arrayed along a pseudopeptide backbone, has the ability to combine the ...

Hybridization of Peptide Nucleic Acid

Biochemistry, 1998
The thermodynamics of hybridization and the conformations of decameric mixed purine-pyrimidine sequence PNA/PNA, PNA/DNA, and DNA/DNA duplexes have been studied using fluorescence energy transfer (FET), absorption hypochromicity (ABS), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and circular dichroism (CD) techniques.

Facile synthesis of peptide nucleic acids and peptide nucleic acid‐peptide conjugates on an automated peptide synthesizer

Journal of Peptide Science, 2010
AbstractPeptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are DNA mimics with a neutral peptide backbone instead of the negatively charged sugar phosphates. PNAs exhibit several attractive features such as high chemical and thermal stability, resistance to enzymatic degradation, and stable binding to their RNA or DNA targets in a sequence‐specific manner.

Application of peptide nucleic acid in electrochemical nucleic acid biosensors

Biopolymers, 2021
AbstractThe early diagnosis of major diseases, such as malignant tumors, has always been an important field of research. Through screening, early detection of such diseases, and timely and effective treatment can significantly improve the survival rate of patients and reduce medical costs.

Cyclopentane Peptide Nucleic Acids

2013
Incorporating a cyclopentane ring into the two-carbon unit of a peptide nucleic acid backbone increases its binding affinity to complementary nucleic acid sequences. This approach is a general method to improve binding and can be applied at either purine or pyrimidine bases.

Advances in Nanoparticle-based Delivery of Next Generation Peptide Nucleic Acids.

Current pharmaceutical design, 2019
BACKGROUND Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) belong to the next generation of synthetic nucleic acid analogues. Their high binding affinity and specificity towards the target DNA or RNA make them the reagent of choice for gene therapy-based applications ...

Spherical Nucleic Acids for Near-Infrared Light-Responsive Self-Delivery of Small-Interfering RNA and Antisense Oligonucleotide.

ACS Nano, 2021
Herein, we developed a photolabile spherical nucleic acid (PSNA) for carrier-free and near-infrared (NIR) photocontrolled self-delivery of small-interfering RNA (siRNA) and antisense oligonucleotide (ASO).
