摘要:
Disclosed are &bgr;-peptides containing cylcoalkyl, cycloalkenyl, and heterocylic substituents which encompass the &agr; and &bgr; carbons of the peptide backbone. The &bgr;-peptides adopt stable helical and sheet structures in both the solid state and in solution. Method of generating combinatorial libraries of peptides containing &bgr;-peptide residues and the libraries formed thereby are disclosed.
摘要:
One aspect of the present invention relates to methods for the transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of a nucleophile, e.g., hydride, to cyclic and acyclic enoates and enones. In certain embodiments of the methods of the present invention, the transition metal catalyst consists essentially of copper and an asymmetric bidentate bisphosphine ligand.

摘要:
The invention concerns compositions comprising strands of polynucleotide and strands of PNA, each PNA strand comprising: (i) from 2 to 50 nucleobase subunits and (ii) one or more gamma substituents. The PNA strands are complementary to at least a portion of at least some of the polynucleotide strands, and the molar ratio of PNA strands to polynucleotide strands being at least 1:1. Certain gamma substituents are capable of effecting attachment of a PNA strand to a cell. The invention also concerns construction of nanostructure platforms and vaccines and use of the inventive compositions in inhibiting disease states in mammals.
摘要:
The present invention concerns methods for detecting a nucleic acid comprising (i) contacting a solution comprising a first PNA having a first cross-reactive functional group with a substrate having a second PNA affixed thereto, the second PNA having a second first cross-reactive functional group, wherein the first PNA has a reporter molecule attached thereto and the first and second PNAs being complementary to different portions of a target DNA; (ii) contacting a sample suspected of containing the nucleic acid with the first and second PNAs; and (iii) determining the presence of the reporter molecule on the substrate.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for lowering the detection limit in a method of detecting a nucleic acid comprising (i) contacting a solution comprising a first PNA with a substrate having a second PNA affixed thereto, the second PNA comprising at least one trans-cyclopentane residue, wherein the first PNA has two linker-attached biotins attached thereto and the first and second PNAs being complementary to different portions of a target DNA; (ii) contacting a sample suspected of containing the nucleic acid with the first and second PNAs; and (iii) determining the presence of the reporter molecule on the substrate. Also disclosed are a detection assay and a kit for detecting a target nucleic acid.
