Cyclopentane FIT-PNAs: bright RNA sensors

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Jan 14;57(4):540-543. doi: 10.1039/d0cc07400d. Epub 2020 Dec 18.

Abstract

Cyclopentane modified FIT-PNA (cpFIT-PNA) probes are reported as highly emissive RNA sensors with the highest reported brightness for FIT-PNAs. Compared to FIT-PNAs, cpFIT-PNAs have improved mismatch discrimination for several pyrimidine-pyrimidine single nucleotide variants (SNVs).
