Magnetic 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 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 کاملElectron microscopy mapping of oligopurine tracts in duplex DNA by peptide nucleic acid targeting.
Biotinylated homopyrimidine decamer peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are shown to form sequence-specific and stable complexes with complementary oligopurine targets in linear double-stranded DNA. The noncovalent complexes are visualized by electron microscopy (EM) without chemical fixation using streptavidin as an EM marker. The triplex stoichiometry of the PNA-DNA complexes (two PNA molecules pres...
متن کاملStrand displacement and duplex invasion into double-stranded DNA by pyrrolidinyl peptide nucleic acids.
The so-called acpcPNA system bears a peptide backbone consisting of 4'-substituted proline units with (2'R,4'R) configuration in an alternating combination with (2S)-amino-cyclopentane-(1S)-carboxylic acids. acpcPNA forms exceptionally stable hybrids with complementary DNA. We demonstrate herein (i) strand displacements by single-stranded DNA from acpcPNA-DNA hybrids, and by acpcPNA strands fro...
متن کاملTargeting linear duplex DNA with mixed-base peptide nucleic acid oligomers facilitated by bisPNA openers.
PD-loop complexes formed by bisPNA openers and a mixed-base (mb) oligonucleotide on double-stranded (ds) DNA enable various diagnostic and biotechnological manipulations with linear DNA duplexes [1–5]. So far, the PD-loop formation requires the use of two homopyrimidine bisPNA oligomers to open the DNA duplex for binding an oligonucleotide [6]. This condition imposes certain sequence limitation...
