Artificial DNA: PNA and XNA

Aims & Scope

Artificial DNA: PNA & XNA focuses on chemistry and chemical biology of non-natural nucleic acids, derivatives and mimics.

Artificial DNA is a multi-disciplinary journal covering chemical, biological, biophysical, medicinal and conceptual aspects of nucleic acid analogues and mimics including both backbone (e.g., PNA, LNA, HNA and PMO) and nucleobase modifications, and of nucleic acid conjugates, probes, aptamers, sensors, replicators and (nano)structures.
