RÉSUMÉ

In order to improve physicochemical and biological properties of natural oligonucleotides in particular increasing their affinity for nucleic acids, the selectivity of action and biological sustainability, several types of DNA mimics were designed. The survey collected data on the synthesis and properties of the DNA mimics - peptide-nucleic acids analogues, which are derivatives of pyrrolidine and hydroxyproline. We examine some physicochemical and biological properties of negatively charged mimics of this type, containing phosphonate residues, and possessing a high affinity for DNA and RNA, selective binding with nucleic acids and stability in various biological systems. Examples of the use of these mimics as tools for molecular biological research, particularly in functional genomics are given. The prospects for their use in diagnostics and medicine are discussed.
