Peptide
nucleic acid Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a synthetic polymer similar to DNA and RNA, composed of nucleotide monomers connected by peptide bonds. Its unique structure and properties enable it to interact with DNA and RNA molecules in a more specific and efficient way than standard DNA and RNA. PNA has a wide range of applications in biology and medicine, including use as a research tool, diagnostic marker, and therapeutic agent, as well as its potential use in gene editing. It is also used as a delivery system for therapeutic agents and in the synthesis of peptide nucleic acid polymers for applications in gene therapy.
