Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are emerging tools in the construction of nanostructures possessing self-assembly properties similar to those of DNA but featuring enhanced stability and chemical flexibility. Templated-ligation approaches can be exploited to stabilize the formed nanoproducts, with bio-orthogonal methods preferred for compatibility with natural components. This chapter outlines design requirements and protocols for conducting triggerless bio-orthogonal PNA ligation in solution and on glass surfaces, along with an electrophoretic monitoring protocol for assessing the outcome of solution ligation.
肽核酸(PNA)是构建纳米结构的新兴工具,其具有类似于DNA的自组装特性,但稳定性更高且化学灵活性更强。可以利用模板连接方法来稳定形成的纳米产物,其中生物正交方法因与天然成分的兼容性而更受青睐。本章概述了在溶液和玻璃表面进行无触发生物正交PNA连接的设计要求和方案,以及用于评估溶液连接结果的电泳监测方案。
