Abstract:
We have designed a novel fluorescent PNA probe which can be rapidly introduced into the living cell without any complicated pretreatment. We could post-synthetically incorporate amino acid derivatives having membrane permeability function into the PNA probe by utilizing key compound 1 which we have already developed. We show that the PNA probe will be a candidate for a rapidly penetrating and non-degrading probe for WISH.
