Abstract

A novel thymine monomer of pyrrolidine-based peptide nucleic acid that contains tertiary amines in the main chain (pyrrolidine-based amino peptide nucleic acid= PAPNA) was synthesized. A mixed oligomer of two PAPNA (T) units and seven units of pyrrolidine-based oxypeptide nucleic acid (POPNA), was synthesized by a solid-phase method. The mixed oligomer was internalized into CHO cells more readily than the previous version of ...
