ABSTRACT

[reaction:see text] A new conformationally restricted PNA adenine monomer has been synthesized in 13 steps from cis-4-hydroxy-D-proline. A fully modified adenine decamer displayed improved binding affinity toward complementary DNA and RNA oligonucleotides as compared to that of the parent PNA adenine decamer.
