Since the discovery of peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) as DNA mimics in the early 1990s, a tremendous effort has been directed to their application as antisense and antigene probes. With the aim of further enhancing their properties, PNAs have been conjugated to a variety of effector molecules. Among these, small peptide fragments, often derived from functional proteins, are able to convey their specific properties to the conjugate.
自20世纪90年代初发现肽核酸(PNA)可模拟DNA以来,人们一直致力于将其用作反义探针和反基因探针。为了进一步增强其性能,PNA已与多种效应分子缀合。其中,通常来源于功能蛋白的小肽片段能够将其特定特性传递给缀合物。
