Purine Bases
Generally, the nucleobase is a convenient modification site, which can lead to many possible substitutions through accessible chemical methods. At present, many new PNA analogues have been synthesized, but the most commonly used is the classical PNA monomer, which provides a reasonable balance between the high affinity requirements for natural nucleic acids and the specificity of sequence recognition. Among the four bases A, T, C and G of four base of DNA, the synthesis of guanine acetic acid derivatives is more complex, and its modification is challenging, people mainly study the modification of adenine. Modifications of purine bases led to the development of 2, 6-diaminopurine applied to the design of pseudo-complementary PNA.
Modification Examples
Here are some common examples of purine base modifications.
Purine base type | Application | Structure |
|---|---|---|
2,6-Diaminopurine | Applied to the design of pseudo-complementary PNA |  |
2-Aminopurine | As a fluorescent probe for examining PNA–DNA interaction dynamics |  |
Hypoxanthine | Form Watson–Crick base pairs with adenine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil increasing the specificity of PNA |  |
6-Thioguanine | Cause helix distortion at the 6sG:C base pair, the base stacking throughout the duplex was still retained |  |
