title: Synthesis of the peptide nucleic acid (PNA) incorporating 2-amino-6-vinylpurine derivative and evaluation of the reactivity.
abstract: Previously, we established a new strategy of synchronous cross linking reaction activated by hybridization to target genes. In this strategy, the highly reactive cross-linking agent, 2-amino-6-vinylpurine nucleoside analog, is generated from its stable precursors by a hybridization-promoted activation process with selectivity to cytosine. In this paper, we wish to report the synthesis of the peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) incorporating 2-amino-6-vinylpurine derivatives and the evaluation of their reactivity to target DNA.
