Sequence- and structure-specific probing of RNAs by short nucleobase-modified dsRNA-binding PNAs incorporating a fluorescent light-up uracil analog by Krishna, Manchugondanahalli Shivakumar, Toh, Desiree-Faye Kaixin, Meng, Zhenyu, Ong, Alan Ann Lerk, Wang, Zhenzhang, Lu, Yunpeng, Xia, Kelin, Prabakaran, Mookkan, Chen, Gang

“…The incorporation of btU into dbPNAs does not affect the binding affinity toward dsRNAs significantly, in most cases, as evidenced by our nondenaturing gel shift assay data. The blue fluorescence emission intensity of btU-modified dbPNAs is sequence- and structure-specifically enhanced by dsRNAs, including the influenza viral RNA panhandle duplex and HIV-1–1 ribosomal frameshift-inducing RNA hairpin, but not ssRNAs or DNAs, at 200 mM NaCl, pH 7.5. …”
