## Abstract Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a nucleobase oligomer in which the entire backbone has been replaced by a backbone composed of __N__‐(2‐aminoethyl)glycine units. In other words, PNA can be regarded as DNA with a neutral peptide backbone instead of a negatively charged sugar–phosphate back
## Abstract Relevant parameters and stereochemical consequences of helices [α‐helix, 3~10~‐helix, β‐bend ribbon spiral, γ‐helix, 2.0~5~‐helix, poly(Pro)~__n__~ type‐I and ‐II helices, and collagen triple helix] of peptides based on α‐amino acids for use as templates in various branches of chemistry
Peptide Nucleic Acids (PNAs) are DNA mimics in which the chiral monomer inserted in the middle of the strand is able to induce a strong preference in the helix handedness of a deoxyribose phosphate backbone has been replaced by a pseudo-peptide skeleton composed of N-(2-aminoethyl)-PNA-PNA duplex. T
