body text, p. 1026 - 1029 (2009/02/08)
The synthesis of N-[2-(fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)aminoethyl]-N-[(2-N-(tert- butoxycarbonyl)isocytosin-5-yl)acetyl]glycine peptide nucleic acid monomer is described. The N-tert-butoxycarbonyl protected monomer is compatible with commercially available monomers designed for the Fmoc-oligomerization strategy and is deprotected under mild acidolysis conditions.

Methods of and compositions for killing or inhibiting the growth of a bacteria are disclosed. The methods comprise the use of peptide nucleic acids that are targeted to mRNA and/or rRNA. In certain embodiments, methods include the use of one or more separate antibiotics.
Linked peptide nucleic acids

Novel peptide nucleic acids and novel linked peptide nucleic acids, form triple stranded structures with nucleic acids. The peptide nucleic acids include ligands such as naturally occurring nucleobases attached to the peptide backbone through a suitable linker. Other nucleobases including C-pyrimidines and iso-pyrimidines can be used as the ligands in Hoogsteen strands to increase binding affinity. Two peptide nucleic acid strands are joined together with a linker to form a bis-peptide nucleic acid. The individual strands of the peptide nucleic acids in the bis compounds can be oriented either parallel or antiparallel to each other.
