Cellular Morphology and Immunologic Properties of Escherichia coli Treated With Antimicrobial Antisense Peptide Nucleic Acid
Background & Objectives: Antisense peptide nucleic acids (PNA) that target growth essential genes show potent bactericidal properties without cell lysis. We considered the possibility that whether PNA treatment influence the bacteria total nucleic acids content and apply approach to develop a new delivery system to Dendritic cells (DCs). DCs are the most potent antigen presenting cells in th...

A versatile synthetic platform for the efficient immobilization of PNAs on magnetic iron oxides, providing magnetic nanosensors for selective DNA recognition, is presented.
متن کاملFacile synthesis of peptide nucleic acids and peptide nucleic acid-peptide conjugates on an automated peptide synthesizer.
Peptide 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. Therefore, they are widely used in molecular diagnosis of antisense-...
متن کاملPeptide nucleic acids in materials science
This review highlights the recent methods to prepare PNA-based materials through a combination of self-assembly and self-organization processes. The use of these methods allows easy and versatile preparation of structured hybrid materials showing specific recognition properties and unique physicochemical properties at the nano- and micro-scale levels displaying potential applications in several...
متن کاملAntisense properties of peptide nucleic acids.
PNA is a nucleic acid analog with an achiral polyamide backbone consisting of N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine units (figure 1). The purine or pyrimidine bases are linked to the each unit via a methylene carbonyl linker (1-3) to target the complementary nucleic acid (4). PNA binds to complementary RNA or DNA in a parallel or antiparallel orientation following the Watson-Crick base-pairing rules (5-7). T...
