title: Rapid site-selective hydrolysis of double-stranded DNA by use of Ce(IV)/EDTA and PNA bearing phosphate group.
abstract: In order to hydrolyze double-stranded DNA efficiently at the target site, two pseudo-complementary peptide nucleic acids (pcPNAs) bearing phosphate group were combined with Ce(IV)/EDTA complex (EDTA = ethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate). The phosphate groups as metal-binding ligands were placed near the target site, and concentrated the Ce(IV) complex thereto. As the result, the site-selective hydrolysis was notably promoted, compared with the scission by the cutters involving unmodified pcPNAs.
