title: Site-selective RNA scission by PNA-Lu(III) hybrid system.
abstract: By using two PNA (PNA = peptide nucleic acid) additives, one-base gap structure was formed in RNA. Upon treatment of this gap-forming RNA substrate with Lu(III) ion, the phosphodiester linkage at 5'-side of the unpaired nucleotide was mainly cleaved. Promising feature of PNA as a sequence recognizing moiety of man-made RNA cutters was evidenced.
