Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are DNA analogues in which the nucleic acid backbone is replaced by a pseudopeptide backbone and nucleobases are attached to the backbone by methylene carbonyl linkers. γ-Carbon modification of the PNA structure allows monomers, and subsequently oligomers, with improved properties to be obtained. In this study, we report the convenient synthesis of γ-lysine-modified PNA monomers for pyrimidine bases (thymine and cytosine) with high optical purity (> 99.5%) and direct enantiomer separation of γ-lysine-modified PNA analogs, using chiral HPLC to determine the optical purity.

The commercialization of metasurfaces is crucial for real-world applications such as wearable sensors, pigment-free color pixels, and augmented and virtual reality devices. Nanoparticle-embedded resin-based nanoimprint lithography (PER-NIL) has shown itself to be a low-cost, high-throughput manufacturing method enabling the replication of high-index nanostructures. It has been extensively integrated into the fabrication of hologram metasurfaces, metalenses, and sensors due to its procedural simplicity.
