An important requisite for in vivo applications that has received inadequate attention is engineering PNA analogues for able discrimination between DNA and RNA as binding targets. Our approach toward this aim is based on structural preorganization of the backbone to hybridization-competent conformations to impart binding selectivity. This strategy has allowed us to design locked PNAs to achieve specific hybridization with DNA or RNA with aims to increase the binding strength without losing the binding specificity. This Account presents results of our rationale in design of different conformationally constrained PNA analogues, their synthesis, and evaluation of hybridization specificities.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22.131</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gourishankar, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shukla, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pasricha, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sastry, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ganesh, Krishna N.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA and PNA as templates for building nanoassemblies via electrostatic complexation with gold nanoparticles</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Current Applied Physics</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA-gold nanoparticle interactions</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">nanoassemblies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PNA</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FEB</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">102-107</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Organisation of nanoparticles on structurally well-defined templates is a first step towards creating nanomachines. In this respect, nucleic acids are ideal structural templates and a variety of secondary structures realizable from DNA/RNA - e.g., duplexes, hairpins, triplexes, cruciforms, tetraplexes can be exploited to engineer nanoparticle organization at will. We have used oligonucleotides and their analogues such as phosphorothioates and peptide nucleic acids to electrostatically encapsulate cationic-capped gold nanoparticles. This article describes synthesis and characterization of DNA/PNA-gold nanoparticle composites using TEM and UV-T-m techniques. These types of assemblies may have potential for creating nanowires and lithographic circuits. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

The main reason for this research activity is the instability of nucleic acid based drugs in the intracellular conditions. Changes in the sugar-phosphate backbone invariably bring about the changes in the complementation properties of the nucleic acids. The naturally occurring deoxyribose- (DNA) and ribose (RNA) sugar-phosphate backbones are endowed with considerable differences in their binding affinities towards themselves. This occurs because of the different sugar conformations prevalent in DNA and RNA and the subtle structural changes accruing from these in hydrogen bonding, base-stacking interactions and hydration of major/minor grooves. The six-atom phosphodiester linkages and pentose-sugars give immense opportunities for chemical modifications that lead to several backbone-modified nucleic acid structures. This article is focused on such modifications that impart RNA-selective binding properties to the modified nucleic acid mimics and the rationale behind the said selectivity. It is found that the six-atom sugar-phosphate backbone could be replaced by either one-atom extended or one-atom edited repeating units, leading to the folded or extended geometries to maintain the internucleoside distance-complementarity. Other important contributions come from electronegativity of the substituent groups, hydration in the major/minor groove, base stacking etc.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.9</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vysabhattar, Raman</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ganesh, Krishna N.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cyanuryl peptide nucleic acid: synthesis and DNA complexation properties</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tetrahedron Letters</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cyanuryl PNA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PNA</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FEB</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">49</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1314-1318</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The synthesis of cyanuryl PNA monomer (CyaPNA) 6 was achieved by direct N-monoalkylation of cyanuric acid with N-(2-Boc-aminoethyl)-N'-(bromoacetyl)glycyl ethyl ester 4.

monomer level the structural studies of aep-PNA-(T/C/A) monomers have been carried out focussing on the conformational analysis of pyrrolidine ring pucker in aep-PNA by H-1 NMR and the coupling constant data fitted into PSEUROT software The results indicate that the type of pyrrolidine pucker depends on the electronic nature of substituent implying the effect of pyrimidine or purine substituents in determining the ring pucker in monomers This may consequently influence the aep-PNA oligomer conformation Since pyrrolidine nucleic acids have emerged as an important class of PNA
