PNA FISH Probes
PNA vs DNA backbone
The backbone of PNAs (Peptide Nucleic Acid) is made of repeating N-(2-aminoethyl)-glycine units linked by peptide bonds. Despite this radical structural change, PNAs are capable of sequence-specific binding in a helix form to its complementary DNA or RNA sequence. Due to its superior binding affinity and chemical/biological stability, PNA has been widely applied in the field of biology.
