Peptide nucleic acid can recognise sequences in double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) through the formation of a double-duplex invasion complex. This double-duplex invasion is a promising method for the recognition of dsDNA in cellula because peptide nucleic acid (PNA) invasion does not require the prior denaturation of dsDNA. To increase its applicability, we developed PNAs modified with a nuclear localisation signal (NLS) peptide. In this study, the characteristics of NLS-modified PNAs were investigated for the future design of novel peptide-modified PNAs.
