Cα-bimodal peptide nucleic acids (bm-Cα-PNA) are PNAs with two faces and are designed homologues of PNAs in which each aminoethylglycine (aeg) repeating unit in the standard PNA backbone hosts a second nucleobase at Cα through a spacer chain with a triazole linker. Such bm-Cα-PNA with mixed sequences can form double duplexes by simultaneous binding to two complementary DNAs, one to the base sequence on t-amide side and the other to the bases on the Cα side chain. The synthesis of bm-Cα-PNA with homothymine (T7) on the t-amide face and homocytosine (C5) on the Cα side chain through the triazole linker was achieved by solid phase synthesis with the global click reaction. In the presence of complementary DNAs dA8 and dG6 at neutral pH, bm-Cα-PNA 1 forms a higher order pentameric double duplex of a triplex composed of two bm-Cα-PNA-C5:dG5 duplexes built on a core (bm-Cα-PNA-T7)2:dA8 triplex. Circular dichroism studies showed that assembly can be achieved by either triplex first and duplex later or vice versa. Isothermal titration calorimetry data indicated that the assembly is driven by favorable enthalpy. These results validate concurrent multiple complex formation by bimodal PNAs with additional nucleobases at Cα or Cγon the aeg-PNA backbone and open up ways to design programmed supramolecular assemblies.

A novel class of compounds known as peptide nucleic acids, bind complementary DNA and RNA strands, and generally do so more strongly than the corresponding DNA or RNA strands while exhibiting increased sequence specificity and solubility. The peptide nucleic acids comprise ligands selected from a group consisting of naturally-occurring nucleobases and non-naturally-occurring nucleobases, including 2,6-diaminopurine, attached to a polyamide backbone, and contain alkyl amine side chains.
