Abstract

The DNA binding abilities of peptide nucleic acids (PNAs), both achiral and bearing three adjacent D-lysine-based monomers in the middle of the strand ("chiral box" PNA), were studied by means of electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). In contrast with achiral PNA, "Chiral box" PNA was confirmed to exert high direction control (antiparallel vs. parallel DNA target) in DNA binding.
