Custom PNA Synthesis. From Discovery to Scale.

Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a synthetic nucleic-acid analog built on a neutral N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine backbone instead of the natural sugar–phosphate backbone. Its nucleobases recognize complementary DNA and RNA through sequence-specific pairing, making PNA a versatile tool for molecular imaging, PCR clamping, mutation analysis, affinity capture, and nucleic-acid research.

Bio-Synthesis supports standard and modified PNA synthesis across a flexible range of proposed scales—from early feasibility studies and small research orders to multi-micromole synthesis and larger custom quantity requests. Choose conventional A/C/G/T PNA or explore tailored chemistry such as fluorescent dyes, biotin and affinity labels, γ-backbone modifications, nucleobase analogs, PEG/AEEA linkers, reactive handles, and peptide–PNA conjugates. Each project can be planned around its sequence, modification complexity, purified quantity, and analytical requirements.

Proposed PNA Synthesis Scales & Custom Yield Options

Select a research synthesis scale or request a specific final purified amount. The following is a proposed commercial menu; Bio-Synthesis should confirm validated production capabilities before publishing it as a standard offering.

Nominal Synthesis Scales

25 nmol 50 nmol 100 nmol 250 nmol 500 nmol 1 µmol 2 µmol 5 µmol 10 µmol

Nominal synthesis scale is not the final recovered or guaranteed purified yield.

Purified Milligram & Bulk Orders

1 nmol 5 mg 10 mg 25 mg 50 mg 100 mg 250 mg Gram-scale review

Custom amounts are quoted by final product target, sequence complexity, modification, purity and manufacturing feasibility.

Important scale distinction: Synthesis scale refers to the nominal starting synthesis capacity; delivered quantity refers to purified product after synthesis, cleavage, purification and recovery. Purity and final yield are established in the project quotation.

Explore PNA Modification Options

Explore ten PNA modification categories with a detailed, representative library of backbone designs, nucleobases, labels, linkers, reactive groups, conjugates and higher-order architectures. Listed options are not a guarantee of routine availability; specialized monomers and constructs require project-specific feasibility review.

Backbone & structural

Modification Type Purpose / considerations
γ-PNA Gamma-substituted PNA Preorganized chiral backbone; sequence-specific affinity and solubility evaluation.
miniPEG-γ-PNA Hydrophilic γ-PNA MiniPEG side chain for solubility and backbone preorganization.
α-/β-substituted PNA Backbone variants Specialized monomer chemistry and feasibility review.
Constrained PNA Conformationally restricted Research-oriented backbone engineering; custom feasibility.
Chiral γ-PNA patterns Position-specific backbone modification Single or multiple γ-substitutions and stereochemical placement; feasibility review.
Mixed standard/γ-PNA Hybrid backbone design Combine conventional and γ-substituted residues for comparative recognition studies.
Cyclic / conformationally constrained PNA Constrained scaffold Macrocyclic or restricted architectures; route and binding performance require design review.
Stereodefined backbone designs Backbone stereochemistry Chiral monomer placement and stereochemical control require reagent and route confirmation.

This is a research-oriented modification library, not a stocked-reagent list or guarantee of synthesis at every scale. Selected PNA–plasmid, PNA–antibody and PNA–drug conjugations are described as prior custom project experience; new requests require feasibility, attachment-site, purification and QC review. Some constructs appear in multiple categories to support discovery by application.

HPLC Purification and Analytical Quality Control

Both standard and modified PNA can be planned with full preparative HPLC purification and fit-for-purpose analytical testing. The final QC package is defined for each order.

Preparative HPLC

Purification of crude PNA using an appropriate chromatographic method, with additional processing as needed for difficult constructs.

Analytical HPLC

Chromatographic purity assessment with a project-specific purity target, method and acceptance criteria.

Mass Spectrometry

Molecular mass confirmation by a suitable MS method, with analytical documentation provided as specified.

Purity Options

Typical quotation targets may include ≥90%, ≥95% or ≥98%, where technically achievable. Higher purity may require additional purification or may not be feasible for certain constructs.

Delivery & Documentation

Lyophilized material, analytical HPLC and mass data, and a Certificate of Analysis may be specified in the quotation. Other testing is evaluated upon request.

PNA Synthesis FAQs

FAQ

Can you synthesize γ-PNA or modified-base PNA?
Selected γ-PNA and modified-base designs can be evaluated. Feasibility depends on monomer structures, availability and the requested sequence.
What is the difference between standard and modified PNA?
Standard PNA uses conventional nucleobases on the PNA backbone. Modified PNA incorporates additional labels, functional groups, modified monomers, conjugates or engineered backbone chemistry.
Can standard PNA be HPLC purified?
Yes. Preparative HPLC can be specified for standard PNA, followed by analytical HPLC and mass spectrometry as defined in the quotation.
Can modified PNA also be purified by HPLC?
Many modified PNA constructs can be HPLC purified, but method suitability, recovery and attainable purity depend on the modifications and sequence.
What purity can I request?
Targets such as ≥90%, ≥95% or ≥98% may be quoted where achievable. Actual acceptance criteria are agreed for each project.
Does 100 nmol synthesis scale mean 100 nmol delivered?
No. Nominal synthesis scale is distinct from the final purified amount. Request a guaranteed final yield if your application requires one.
Can I add a fluorescent dye or biotin?
Yes, compatible terminal or side-chain labeling strategies may be evaluated, including fluorescent and affinity labels.
What information is needed for a quote?
Provide the PNA sequence in N-to-C orientation, modification positions, intended use, synthesis scale or final purified quantity, purity target and QC requirements.
