Abstract
Conjugates of peptide nucleic acids (PNA) and metal binding ligands were prepared using solid-phase synthesis. Stability of duplexes of bis-picolylamine-PNA conjugates and DNA was found to be modulated by equimolar concentrations of bioavailable metal ions: Ni(2+), Zn(2+)>Cu(2+). Sequence specificity of PNA was not compromised in the presence of these metal ions.Entities:
