    Experimental Details

    General

    All reagent grade chemicals and solvents were purchased from standard suppliers and

    were used as received without further purification. Acetonitrile for HPLC experiment was

    HPLC grade and was filtered through a membrane filter (13 mm , 0.45 m) before use.

    MilliQ water was obtained from an ultrapure water system fitted with a Millipak® 40 filter

    unit (0.22 µ). Oligonucleotides were purchased from BioDesign or Pacific Science

    (Thailand).

    Spectroscopic Measurements

    Samples for absorption and fluorescence studies of alkynyl-modified styryl dyes with

    or without DNA duplex (dsDNA) were prepared in 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer pH 7.0

    at the concentration of dye = 2.0 and dsDNA = 1.0 M. Except otherwise specified, the

    samples for absorption and fluorescence studies of PNADNA hybrids were prepared in 10

    mM sodium phosphate buffer pH 7.0 at concentration PNA = 1.0 and DNA = 1.2 M. The

    concentration of the PNA was determined by UV spectrophotometry using the molar

    extinction coefficient at 260 nm (260) as calculated from the base sequence. The thermal

    denaturation and absorption spectra were measured on a CARY 100 Bio UV-vis

    spectrophotometer (Varian, Australia) and the fluorescence spectra were collected on a Cary

    Eclipse Fluorescence Spectrophotometer (Varian/Agilent Technologies) using a quartz

    cuvette with a path length of 1.0 cm at 20 °C. The samples for thermal denaturation

    experiments were similarly prepared, and the samples were heated from 20 to 90 °C at a

    heating rate of 1 °C/min. The melting temperature (Tm) was evaluated by first smoothing of

    temperature data and then determined the maximum of the first derivative by using

    KaliedaGraph 4.1 (Synergy Software).

    The fluorescence quantum yield (ΦF) of the free dyes, single-stranded PNA probes

    and PNA·DNA hybrids were calculated using perylene (ΦF = 0.92, ex = 360420),

    rhodamine B (ΦF = 0.50, ex = 450540) and nile blue (ΦF = 0.27, ex = 550610) as the

    standard.1 The integrated fluorescence intensities and the absorbance values (at ex) of the

    standard and the samples were plotted and the slopes were determined to give gradstandard and

    gradsample, respectively.

    The quantum yield can be calculated according to equation (1):

    Φsample = Φstandard (gradsample / gradstandard) (2

    sample/ 2

    standard) (1)

    Where grad is the slope from the plot of integrated fluorescence intensity as a function

    of absorbance and η is the refractive index of the solvent used for the fluorescence

    measurement.

    Circular dichroism (CD) experiments of PNADNA hybrids were performed on a

    JASCO Model J-815 and the samples were prepared in 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer pH

    7.0 at concentration PNA = 2.5 and DNA = 3.0 M.

    Structural analysis of DNA·DNA/PNA·DNA duplexes: The coordinates of DNA·DNA

    duplex retrieving from Protein Databank (PDB code = 4c64) and of acpcPNA·DNA from

    literature2 were visualized their structures with Chimera software.

    3 Molecular surfaces were

    calculated and displayed by the same program, and the minor groove widths were measured

    between solvent-excluded molecular surfaces of each strand. Typically, three measurements

    of each hybrid were averaged. The minor groove of the acpcPNA·DNA duplex was too

    shallow to be determined its width and depth precisely.

    Docking simulations of styryl dyes on the DNA·DNA and PNA·DNA hybrids: Structures

    of styryl dyes 3 and 18 were built up using Open Babel,4 and their structures were minimized

    using Molecular Modelling Toolkit (MMTK) implemented in Chimera. ANTECHAMBER5,6

    was used to assign net charges of the molecules. The pre-minimized structures were detected

    their rotatable bonds and converted to pdbqt files with AutoDockTools. For the

    DNA·DNA/PNA·DNA structures, only polar hydrogen atoms and Kollman charges were

    assigned to their structures with AutoDockTools. Grid boxes were set to cover entire

    structures, in which DNA·DNA and acpcPNA·DNA duplexes were 80×80×120 and

    97×97×97 Å3

    respectively. For the docking simulation with Autodock Vina, the

    exhaustiveness was set to 64. The results were inspected for their binding interactions

    between styryl dyes and DNA·DNA/PNA·DNA hybrids with Chimera.
