Cell-permeable GPNA with appropriate backbone stereochemistry and spacing binds sequence-specifically to RNA.
Guanidine-based peptide nucleic acid (GPNA) with a d-backbone configuration and alternate spacing binds sequence-specifically to RNA and is readily taken up by both human somatic and embryonic stem (ES) cells.
