A convenient small scale synthesis has been developed for obtaining peptide nucleic acid oligomers (PNAs). PNAs have been conjugated to a protein, staphylococcal nuclease, through disulfide exchange between a cysteine at the 3'-(carboxy) end of the PNA and an introduced cysteine on the surface of th

## Abstract Highβresolution NMR studies of an Ξ±βhomoβDNA:RNA duplex reveal the formation of a rightβhanded parallelβoriented helix. It differs significantly from a standard Aβ or Bβtype helix by a small twist value (26.2Β°), which leads to a helical pitch of 13.7 base pairs per helical turn, a negat
Hetero-oligomeric PNAs consisting of new monomeric building blocks and various amounts of N-(2-aminoethyl) glycine have been synthesized by solid-phase chemistry. Some of these new compounds show stronger binding to complementary DNA than the original PNAs, and are consequently very interesting cand
## Synopsis Nuclear magnetic resoiiaiice spectra of acridine have been measured in aqueous methanol solutions over a wide concentration range in the presence and absence of dissolved UNA. In solutions containing DNA the acridiiie spectra show a marked line broadening and intensity decrease at temp
