Daejeon, South Korea-based Panagene has licensed the right to sell peptide nucleic acid monomers from the Copenhagen Inventor Group. The agreement allows the firm to synthesize, manufacture and sell PNA monomers for use by researchers. Panagene had previously obtained an exclusive worldwide license under CIG's patents to PNA custom synthesis.
PNAs are mimics of DNA with unique properties that confer advantages in many applications. Panagene estimates the PNA market today to be approximately 5% of DNA/RNA synthesis sector but, with this license, strongly believes that it will be able to grow this significantly.
