Peptide nucleic acids

"Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) is a powerful new biomolecular tool with a wide range of important applications. PNA mimics the behaviour of DNA and binds complementary nucleic acid strands. The unique chemical, physical and biological properties of PNA have been exploited to produce powerful biomolecular tools, antisense and antigene agents, molecular probes and biosensors." "This book contains state-of-the-art protocols and applications on all aspects of PNA. An essential text for all molecular biologists, microbiologists, biochemists, geneticists, biotechnologists and nucleic acid chemists wishing to keep up with the latest developments."--Jacket.
