Abstract
Guanidine-based peptide nucleic acid (GPNA) monomers and oligomers containing all four natural (adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T)) and two unnatural (2-thiouracil (sU) and 2,6-diaminopurine (D)) nucleobases have been synthesized. Thermal denaturation study showed that GPNA oligomers containing alternate D-backbone configuration bind sequence-specifically to DNA and, when incubated with mammalian cells, localized specifically to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).Entities:
