Invasion of the DNA snatchers : We show that one strand of decamer D K α ‐PNA efficiently invades into double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) by utilizing the SSB‐assisted duplex invasion. An extensive analysis of D K α ‐PNA–DNA duplex formation performed by calculation of the thermodynamic parameters and circular dichroism experiments ascertained that a right‐handed helical preorganization is a very important contribution when one PNA strand invades into dsDNA.
