The contents of the file: PNA in CSA Supplementary Datasets.zipData S1: Folder "Supplementary Dataset 1-LCMS DATA"

The folder Supplementary Dataset 1-LCMS DATA contains pdfs of all LCMS spectra.  The original LCMS data include the LCMS analysis of PNA hexamers A-T at various time points, at room temperature (RT) (1h, 24h, 14 days; t = RT) as well as at high temperature (50°C and 80°C). 

Data S2: Folder "Supplementary Dataset 2-NMR DATA"

The folder Supplementary Dataset 2-NMR DATA contains the original NMR data.
