This article reports the design and facile synthesis of novel chiral six-membered PNA analogues (2S, 5R/2R, 5S)-1-(N-Boc-aminoethyl)-5-(thymin-1-yl) pipecolic acid, aepipPNA that upon incorporation into standard aegPNA sequences effected stabilization of complexes with complementary target DNA. Substitution of aegPNA unit by the designed monomer at the C-terminus was more effective than substitution at N-terminus. The ...
