Incorporating a guanidine-modified cytosine base into triplex-forming PNAs for the recognition of a C-G pyrimidine–purine inversion site of an RNA duplex by Toh, Desiree-Faye Kaixin, Devi, Gitali, Patil, Kiran M., Qu, Qiuyu, Maraswami, Manikantha, Xiao, Yunyun, Loh, Teck Peng, Zhao, Yanli, Chen, Gang

“…We have developed a convenient synthesis method for a modified peptide nucleic acid (PNA) monomer with a guanidine-modified 5-methyl cytosine base. We demonstrated by gel electrophoresis, fluorescence and thermal melting experiments that short PNAs incorporating the modified residue show high binding affinity and sequence specificity in the recognition of an RNA duplex containing an internal inverted Watson-Crick C-G base pair. …”
