The folding propensity of α/sulfono-γ-AA peptidic foldamers with both left- and right-handedness
Communications Chemistry, 2021 Controlling the helical structure of peptide foldamers requires detailed understanding of the relationship between primary and secondary structure. Here the effect of monomer stoichiometry and configuration on the helical structures of peptide nucleic ...

Exploiting double exchange Diels-Alder cycloadditions for immobilization of peptide nucleic acids on gold nanoparticles [PDF]
, 2020 The generation of PNA-decorated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has revealed to be more difficult as compared to the generation of DNA-functionalized ones. The less polar nature of this artificial nucleic acid system and the associated tendency of the neutral

Peptide Nucleic Acid Microarrays [PDF]
, 2004 A fast and economical procedure for the production of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) microarrays is presented. PNA oligomers are synthesized in a fully automatic manner in 96-well plates using standard Fmoc chemistry. Subsequently, the oligomers are released from the support and spotted onto glass or silicone slides, which were activated by succinimidyl ...

Antisense PNA accumulates in Escherichia coli and mediates a long post-antibiotic effect [PDF]
, 2007 Antisense agents that target growth-essential genes display surprisingly potent bactericidal properties. In particular, peptide nucleic acid (PNA) and phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers linked to cationic carrier peptides are effective in time kill ...

Exploring Protein-Protein Interactions as Drug Targets for Anti-cancer Therapy with In Silico Workflows [PDF]
, 2017 We describe a computational protocol to aid the design of small molecule and peptide drugs that target protein-protein interactions, particularly for anti-cancer therapy. To achieve this goal, we explore multiple strategies, including finding binding hot

Effect of native gastric mucus on in vivo hybridization therapies directed at Helicobacter pylori [PDF]
, 2015 Helicobacter pylori infects more than 50% of the worldwide population. It is mostly found deep in the gastric mucus lining of the stomach, being a major cause of peptic ulcers and gastric adenocarcinoma. To face the increasing resistance of H.
