title: Synthesis and hybridization of novel chiral pyrrolidine based PNA analogue.
abstract: Four different PNA fragments containing units of either the R- or S-isomer of N-(2-pyrrolidine-methyl)-N-(thymine-1-acetyl)-glycine (Pmg) were synthesized on a solid support. UV thermal melting experiments with complementary RNAs were performed and it was found that R-Pmg containing PNAs bind better to RNA than those containing the S-Pmg units.
