We have reported that γPNA oligomers possessing the diethylene glycol γ-substituent show improved efficacy over unmodified PNAs in stimulating recombination-induced gene modification. However, this structural modification poses a challenge because of the inherent racemization risk in <i>O</i>-alkylation of the precursory serine side chain. To circumvent this risk and improve γPNA accessibility, we explore the utility of γPNA oligomers possessing the hydroxymethyl-γ moiety for gene-editing applications. We demonstrate that a γPNA oligomer possessing the hydroxymethyl modification, despite weaker preorganization, retains the ability to form a hybrid with the double-stranded DNA target of comparable stability and with higher affinity than that of the diethylene glycol-γPNA. When formulated into poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles, the hydroxymethyl-γPNA stimulates higher frequencies (≥ 1.5-fold) of gene modification than the diethylene glycol γPNA in mouse bone marrow cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":9703,"journal":{"name":"Cell Reports Physical Science","volume":"4 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10621889/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71421048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite these commendable efforts, pure FAPI perovskite thin film is prone to critical phase-transition issues due to its thermodynamically stable non-perovskite phase (2H). Here, in this work, we propose a rational additivization strategy to overcome this challenge. Our multifunctional ammonium salt containing a sulfur heteroatom shifts the thermodynamic stability from the 2H phase to an intermediate phase closer to the cubic phase. Along with the high crystallinity, micron-sized grains with preferred (00h) facet orientation stem the Pb<sup>…</sup>S interaction to offer exceptional stability against high relative humidity, direct water incursion, and shelf-life aging. Our findings through experimental and theoretical studies substantiate the role of Pb<sup>…</sup>S interaction in stabilizing the perovskite cubic phase and the stoichiometric distribution of elemental components.</p>","PeriodicalId":9703,"journal":{"name":"Cell Reports Physical Science","volume":"4 8","pages":"101516"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10450572/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10109281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
