Much of our work relies on peptide nucleic acid (PNA. Figure 1), a DNA mimic invented at the University of Copenhagen in 1991 by Nielsen, Egholm, Berg and Buchardt. In the first two projects described ...
We have also studied an alternative to DNA, the Peptide Nucleic Acids (PNA) which have a neutral backbone. An array of PNA probes complementary to tRNAphe was used to study the hybridisation ...
Objectives Our previous studies have successfully applied the radiometal-labeled DOTA-anti-bcl-2-PNA (peptide nucleic acid)-Tyr3-octreotate antisense conjugate for specific targeting of Mec-1 human ...
The Bell lab is currently developing nucleic acid ligands composed of DNA and peptide nucleic acids (PNA). PNA are used to enhance the in vivo stability of the resultant ligands. Professor Bell enjoys ...
