A new pyrrolidinyl peptide nucleic acid (PNA) comprising of an alternate sequence of 4'-nucleobase-modified proline with (2'R,4'S) configuration and a (1S,2S)-2-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid [(2'R,4'S)-acpcPNA] backbone was synthesized and its DNA-, RNA- and self-pairing properties studied. T-m and CD studies suggested that the (2'R,4'S)-acpcPNA forms antiparallel hybrids to DNA and RNA with high sequence and direction specificity. The stability of these hybrids is comparable to those of the (2'R,4'R)-acpcPNA hybrids previously reported by our group. On the other hand, experiments with a self-complementary sequence indicated that the new (2'R,4'S)-acpcPNA forms a more stable antiparallel self-hybrid than (2'R,4'R)-acpcPNA. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
