Abstract
This invention provides improved polyamides comprising a positive patch for contacting the phosphate backbone or major groove of a DNA molecule. As such, the improved polyamides are capable of inhibiting the function or binding of a DNA-binding protein to a DNA molecule. The improved polyamide provides for more efficient function of the polyamide.
