Primary sequence and the molecular weight of the PNA and ssDNA fragments used in this work.

Polynucleotide	Primary sequence	Mw (g/mol)
PNA2	5′-CCCACCCGCAGCCCTCATTA-3′	5,263.1
HCV	5′-TAATGAGGGCTGCGGGTGGG-3′	6,297
H1N1	5′-ACG GAAGGA GTGCCAA-3′	4,968

In accord to the accepted convention, the N-terminal of the PNA2 is referred to as its 5′-end.
