Va. Efimov et al., Polyester and N-methyl analogues of peptide nucleic acids: Synthesis and hybridization properties, NUCLEOS NUC, 18(11-12), 1999, pp. 2533-2549
The synthesis of a set of homo-thymine analogues of peptide nucleic acids c
ontaining ester or N-methylamide linkages as well as analogues derived from
trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline and their hybrids has been accomplished, and the
ir binding affinity to complementary DNA and RNA strands was evaluated.
