Abstract
A synthon of d-proline substituted at the 4-position by thymine and at N by a flexible aminoethyl linker, has been used to prepare a novel chiral peptide nucleic acid (cPNA) with (2 R,4 R) stereochemistry using solid phase methodology. The homothymine decamer cPNA binds to complementary polyadenylic acid to form a 2:1 hybrid with high affinity and specificity according to UV and CD studies, whereas no binding to the corresponding polydeoxyadenylic acid was observed.
