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 کاملClickable peptide nucleic acids (cPNA) with tunable affinity.
Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are functional analogues of natural oligonucleotides. Herein, we report the synthesis of PNAs bearing a triazole in lieu of the amide bond assembled using a "click" cycloaddition, their hybridization properties as well as the DNA-templated coupling of the azide and alkyne PNA fragments.
متن کاملAnion binding to nucleic acids.
Nucleic acids are generally considered as efficient cation binders. Therefore, the likelihood that negatively charged ions might intrude their first hydration shell is rarely considered. Here, we show on the basis of (i) a survey of the Nucleic Acid Database, (ii) several structures extracted from the Cambridge Structural Database, and (iii) molecular dynamics simulations, that the nucleotide e...
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 کاملConformational analysis of nucleic acids revisited: Curves+
We describe Curves+, a new nucleic acid conformational analysis program which is applicable to a wide range of nucleic acid structures, including those with up to four strands and with either canonical or modified bases and backbones. The program is algorithmically simpler and computationally much faster than the earlier Curves approach, although it still provides both helical and backbone para...
