Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) building blocks, bearing a fluorine sensor at C-5 of the uracil base [viz. trifluoromethyl and 3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,4,4-trifluorobut-1-ynyl], were synthesized and incorporated to a PNA strand, and their applicability for the monitoring of different hybridization modes by F-19 NMR spectroscopy was studied. Both sensors gave unique F-19 resonance shifts in NMR when the PNA was targeted to a complementary antiparallel DNA, antiparallel RNA, parallel DNA, and parallel RNA. The 5-trifluoromethyl-derived sensor was additionally applied for the monitoring of interconversions from a parallel DNA/PNA complex to an antiparallel RNA/PNA complex and from a PNA/PNA complex to two DNA/PNA complexes (i.e., double-duplex invasion).
