Abstract

PNAs grafted with cationic aminomethylene (am) pendants on the backbone at the glycyl (alpha) or ethylenediamine (gamma) segments show regio (alpha/gamma) and stereochemistry (R/S) dependent binding with complementary DNA. These are efficiently taken up by cells, with gamma(S-am) aeg-PNA being the best in all properties.
