Recently, we developed artificial restriction DNA cutter (ARCUT) composed of pseudo-complementary peptide nucleic acid (pcPNA) and Ce(IV)/EDTA complex (EDTA = ethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate). Here we promoted the site-selective hydrolysis by attaching phosphate groups to the pcPNAs. The promotion by the phosphates increased with decreasing length of the gap-like site. Furthermore, the scission was successful even when phosphate groups were introduced to 0 base-gap system.
最近,我们开发了由假互补肽核酸(pcPNA)和铈(IV)/乙二胺四乙酸络合物(EDTA = 乙二胺-N,N,N',N'-四乙酸)组成的人工限制性DNA切割器(ARCUT)。在此,我们通过将磷酸基团连接到pcPNA上来促进位点选择性水解。磷酸基团的促进作用随着间隙样位点长度的减小而增强。此外,即使将磷酸基团引入0碱基间隙系统,切割也取得了成功。
