Abstract
A novel conformationally constrained pyrrolidinyl peptide nucleic acid (PNA) carrying an D-aminopyrrolidine carboxylic acid (D-Apc) spacer was synthesized, and its interactions with complementary oligo- and polynucleotides were studied by UV and CD spectroscopy. The decathymine PNA formed very stable PNA-DNA complexes with poly(dA) and (dA)(10) by a sequence-specific A-T pairing. The interaction with poly(rA) gave the corresponding PNA-RNA complex with much lower stability.Entities:
