Abstract

Novel peptide nucleic acid (PNA) oligomers and their constituent monomers are disclosed. The PNA oligomers and linked PNAs form triple stranded structures with nucleic acids that show an increased specificity for thymidine in nucleic acid targets relative to naturally occurring nucleobases.
