Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Continuing our research on the development of nucleopeptides as ODN analogs for biomedical and bioengineering applications, here we report the synthesis and the chemical-physical characterization of a homoadenine hexamer based on a l-diaminobutyric acid (l-DABA) backbone (dabPNA), and its binding studies with a complementary aegPNA. We demonstrated by CD and UV experiments that the l-dabPNA binds the aegPNA forming a complex with good thermal stability, that we identified as a left-handed triplex.
