title: DNA-selective hybridization and dual strand invasion of short double-stranded DNA using pyren-1-ylcarbonyl-functionalized 4'-C-piperazinomethyl-DNA.
abstract: Incorporation of a novel pyren-1-ylcarbonyl-functionalized 4'-C-piperazinomethyl-DNA monomer into oligodeoxynucleotides leads to increased thermal stability of duplexes with DNA complements but reduced thermal stability of duplexes with RNA complements. This DNA-selective hybridization is explored for recognition of double-stranded DNA by a novel dual strand invasion approach.
