A Convergent Strategy for the Modification of Peptide Nucleic Acids: Novel Mismatch-Specific PNA-Hybridization Probes.
Coupling of nonnatural nucleobases to the orthogonally protected backbone 1 on the solid phase provided access to novel peptide nucleic acid (PNA) conjugates 2, which are difficult to synthesize by standard routes. Hybridization probes containing the thiazolorange dye might allow DNA sequence analysis in real time. B-CH(2)CO=modified nucleobase, fluorescent dye, etc; Boc, Fmoc=protecting groups.
