	PNA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		PNA is peptide nucleic acid, a chemical similar to DNA or RNA but differing in the composition of its "backbone." PNA is not known to occur naturally in existing life on Earth but is artificially synthesized and used in some biological research and medical treatments.
		PNAs are depicted like peptides, with the N-terminus at the first (left) position and the C-terminus at the right.
		Synthetic peptide nucleic acid oligomers have been used in recent years in molecular biology procedures, diagnostic assays and antisense therapies.

		Furthermore, the use only of the twenty naturally occurring amino acids is limited by the possibility that a peptide that is potentially useful as a therapeutic agent may be quickly degraded or otherwise inactivated upon administration to a patient due, for example, to proteases present in the patient.
		The peptide modifying agent is selected based on the particular functional group to be modified, as well as the resulting change desired, and is further selected on the basis of its being substantially inert to portions of the nucleic acid-peptide fusion molecule other than the functional group or groups to be modified.
		The nucleic acid is translationally linked to the peptide using a peptide acceptor, which is present at or near the 3'end of the encoding nucleic acid and can be added to the C-terminus of a growing polypeptide chain by the catalytic activity of a ribosomal peptidyl transferase.

	Improved PCR Amplification of VNTR Locus D1S80 Using PNA (Peptide Nucleic Acid) Oligomers
		PNA mimics DNA in terms of its ability to recognize and bind to complementary nucleic acid sequences but does so with higher thermal stability and specificity than corresponding oligodeoxynucleotides.
		To accomplish this the PNA had to anneal to its target sequence at a relatively high temperature and yet be destabilized enough at extension temperatures to be displaced by the polymerase.
		Peptide nucleic acid enhancement of the PCR process appears to occur during later rounds of amplification.

		Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are oligonucleotide analogues in which the sugar-phosphate backbone has been replaced by a pseudopeptide skeleton.
		From the substantial similarity between the PNA conformation in LPD and the conformations observed in other PNA structures, it can be concluded that PNAs possess intrinsic conformational preferences for the P-helix, and that their flexibility is rather restricted.
		The conformational rigidity of PNAs is enhanced by the presence of the chiral centers, limiting the ability of PNA strands to adopt other conformations and, ultimately, increasing the selectivity in molecular recognition.
