Cyclopentane FIT-PNAs: bright RNA sensors†
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).
