A novel nucleic acid model using {alpha}-peptide ribonucleic acid ({alpha}-PRNA) possessing alternative {alpha}-PRNA/lysine and {alpha}-PRNA/arginine sequences, where the lysine or arginine residue are expected to stabilize the complex not only by the conventional hydrogen-bonding interactions between the complementary nucleobase pairs but also through the electrostatic interactions between basic amino acid side-chain groups and DNA's phosphate anions on the backbone. These {alpha}-PRNAs form stable sequence-specific complex with the complementary DNA.
