Peptide nucleic acids and analogues of peptide nucleic acids are used to form duplex, triplex, and other structures with nucleic acids and to modify nucleic acids. The peptide nucleic acids and analogues thereof also are used to modulate protein activity through, for example, transcription arrest, transcription initiation, and site specific cleavage of nucleic acids.
肽核酸和肽
核酸类似物被用于与核酸形成双链、三链和其他结构,并用于修饰核酸。肽核酸及其类似物也被用于通过转录阻滞、转录起始和核酸的位点特异性切割来调节蛋白质活性。
