Abstract
The astonishing discovery that peptide nucleic acids (PNAs, B=nucleobase), in spite of their drastic structural difference to natural DNA, are better nucleic acid mimetics than many other oligonucleotides has resulted in an explosion of research into this class of compounds. The synthesis, physical properties, and biological interactions of PNAs as well as their chimeras with DNA and RNA are summarized here. © 1998 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, Weinheim, Fed.
