Abstract

Targeting double‐stranded DNA with homopyrimidine PNAs results in strand displacement complexes PNA/DNA/PNA rather than PNA/DNA/DNA triplex structures. Not much is known about the binding properties of DNA‐PNA chimeras. A 16‐mer 5′‐DNA‐3′‐p‐(N)PNA(C) has been investigated for its ability to hybridize a complementary duplex DNA by DSC, CD, and molecular modeling studies. The obtained results showed the formation of a triplex structure having similar, if not slightly higher, stability compared to the same all‐DNA complex. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract __The fluorescent 8‐aza‐2′‐deoxyisoguanosine (**4**) as well as the parent 2′‐deoxyisoguanosine (**1**) were used as protonated dCH^+^ surrogates in the third strand of oligonucleotide triplexes. Stable triplexes were formed by Hoogsteen base pairing. In contrast to dC, triplexes contai
