Abstract excerpt
Negatively charged homo-oligomers of alternating trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline/phosphonate polyamides with DNA bases (HypNA-pPNA) display excellent hybridization properties toward DNA and RNA, while preserving the mismatch discrimination, nuclease resistance, and protease resistance of peptide nucleic acids (PNAs). Similar properties are associated with morpholino phosphorodiamidate (MO) DNA mimics, which have been...
