Information transfer from peptide nucleic acids to RNA by template-directed syntheses.
Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are uncharged analogs of DNA and RNA in which the ribose-phosphate backbone is substituted by a backbone held together by amide bonds. PNAs are interesting as models of alternative genetic systems because they form potentially informational base paired helical structures. A PNA C10 oligomer has been shown to act as template for efficient formation of oligoguanylates...
متن کاملMagnetic peptide nucleic acids for DNA targeting.
A versatile synthetic platform for the efficient immobilization of PNAs on magnetic iron oxides, providing magnetic nanosensors for selective DNA recognition, is presented.
متن کاملInhibition of a DNA-helicase by peptide nucleic acids.
Bis-peptide nucleic acid (bis-PNA) binding results in D-loop formation by strand displacement at complementary homopurine stretches in DNA duplexes. Transcription and replication in intact cells is mediated by multienzymatic complexes involving several proteins other than polymerases. The behaviour of the highly stable clamp structure formed by bis-PNAs has thus far been studied with respect to...
متن کاملTargeting pre-miRNA by Peptide Nucleic Acids
PNAs conjugated to carrier peptides have been employed for the targeting of miRNA precursor, with the aim to develop molecules able to interfere in the pre-miRNA processing. The capability of the molecules to bind pre-miRNA has been tested in vitro by fluorescence assayes on Thiazole Orange labeled molecules and in vivo, in K562 cells, evaluating the amount of miRNA produced after treatment of ...
متن کاملDNA assembly using bis-peptide nucleic acids (bisPNAs)
DNA nanostructures are ordered oligonucleotide arrangements that have applications for DNA computers, crystallography, diagnostics and material sciences. Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a DNA/RNA mimic that offers many advantages for hybridization, but its potential for application in the field of DNA nanotechnology has yet to be thoroughly examined. We report the synthesis and characterization o...
