Effect of Steric Constraint at the γ-Backbone Position on the Conformations and Hybridization Properties of PNAs
Conformationally preorganized peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) have been synthesized through backbone modifications at the γ-position, where R = alanine, valine, isoleucine, and phenylalanine side chains. The effects of these side-chains on the conformations and hybridization properties of PNAs were det...
