Modification by C Replacement
The replacement of the backbone C has the advantage of not changing the configuration of the PNA, and generally does not reduce the hybridization performance of the PNA.
Creative Peptides provides high-quality PNA backbone modification services to promote the PNA development of our customers, we are committed to advancing and accelerating your research plan.
Replacement Strategy
- Oxy-PNA (OPNA)
- Phosphono-PNA (pPNA)
In order to overcome the characteristics of low water solubility, a new peptide nucleic acid OPNA was synthesized by introducing ether bonds in the peptide nucleic acid backbone. In OPNA, O atoms replace C atoms, that is, ether bonds replace methylene groups. The ether bond backbone is more flexible, binds firmly to DNA or RNA, and its water solubility is correspondingly improved.The oxy-PNA (OPNA) derived from L-homoserine with ether linkages forms a less stable duplex with DNA and shows extremely high sequence specificity.
In order to synthesize new PNA analogues with achiral and negatively charged backbones, phosphono PNA (pPNA) was designed, in which the monomer is connected with a phosphonate bond. pPNAs contain either N-(2-amino-ethyl)phosphonoglycine or Ar-(2-hydroxyethyl)phosphonoglycine units. The complex formed by the chimera of PNA and pPNA monomers is more stable than the equivalent homologous pPNA.
Characteristics
● OPNA | ● pPNA | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Advantages | Disadvantages | Advantages | Disadvantages |
● Able to bind PNA with sequence specificity. | ● Weak affinity | ● It shows promising binding properties for complementary DNA and RNA sequences. ● The introduction of a negative skeleton results in excellent water solubility. | ● The stability of the complex formed by pPNA is lower than that of the corresponding PNA. |
