| Research Abstract |
Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) is a one of DNA analogues and it can form stable duplex with its complementary DNA. Furthermore, PNA can "invade" a double-stranded DNA sequence-selectively (formation of invasion complex) and this special recognition mode of double-stranded DNA is called "strand invasion". In this study, we developed a strategy to stabilize the invasion complex for the analysis of higher-order structure of DNA.
