A novel class of compounds, known as peptide nucleic acids, bind complementary DNA and RNA strands more strongly than a corresponding DNA strand, and exhibit increased sequence specificity and binding affinity. The peptide nucleic acids of the invention comprise ligands selected from a group consisting of naturally-occurring nucleobases and non-naturally-occurring nucleobases attached to a polyamide backbone. Some PNAs of the invention also contain C

alkylamine side chains.
一种新型化合物被称为肽核酸,它们比相应的DNA链和RNA链更强地结合互补的DNA和RNA链,并表现出增加的序列特异性和结合亲和力。该发明的肽核酸包括从天然存在的碱基和连接到聚酰胺骨架的非天然存在的碱基中选择的配体。该发明的一些肽核酸还含有C1-C8烷基胺侧链。
