Through the invasion of pseudo-complementary PNA (pePNA) to double-stranded DNA, gap-like structures were formed at predetermined sites in both strands of PBR322 plasmid DNA. These gap-like sites were selectively hydrolyzed by Ce(IV)/EDTA complex, and two designed fragments were obtained. Furthermore, the scission fragment by this artificial restriction enzyme was successfully ligated with foreign DNA.
