Kh. Petersen et al., A PNA-DNA LINKER SYNTHESIS OF THOXYTRITYLOXY)ETHYL)-N-(THYMIN-1-YLACETYL)GLYCINE, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 5(11), 1995, pp. 1119-1124
N-(2-benzyloxyethyl)-N-(thymin-1-ylacetyl)glycine was synthesised and
used as a linker for coupling DNA and PNA together. Three different 10
-mers composed of 6 DNA units and 4 PNA thymine units were made. The P
NA-DNA chimera hybridise to complementary DNA or PNA oligomers, and bo
th the PNA and the DNA part of the chimera are involved in the binding
.
