Complex formation between dsDNA and oligomer of cyclic heterocycles

Methods and compositions are provided for forming complexes intracellularly between dsDNA and oligomers of heterocycles, aliphatic amino acids, particularly omega-amino acids, and a polar end group. By appropriate choice of target sequences and composition of the oligomers, complexes are obtained wi...

More Information
Summary:Methods and compositions are provided for forming complexes intracellularly between dsDNA and oligomers of heterocycles, aliphatic amino acids, particularly omega-amino acids, and a polar end group. By appropriate choice of target sequences and composition of the oligomers, complexes are obtained with low dissociation constants. The formation of complexes can be used for modifying the phenotype of cells, either prokaryotic or eukaryotic, for research and therapy.
