Amyloid-Associated Nucleic Acid Hybridisation
Nucleic acids promote amyloid formation in diseases including Alzheimer's and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. However, it remains unclear whether the close interactions between amyloid and nucleic acid allow nucleic acid secondary structure to play a role in modulating amyloid structure and function. Here we have used a simplified system of short basic peptides with alternating hydrophobic and hydro...
متن کاملNucleic acid hybridisation and polymerase chain reaction in the diagnosis of infectious animal diseases.
The authors describe and summarise the use of nucleic acid hybridisation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technologies in the diagnosis of animal diseases. PCR is a powerful biological tool which enables exponential enzymatic amplification in vitro of a given deoxyribonucleic acid sequence. This technique is currently used to study the molecular pathogenesis of many infectious diseases and a...
متن کاملSynthesis and effects of conjugated tocopherol analogues on peptide nucleic acid hybridisation.
To the N-terminus of a nonamer peptide nucleic acid sequence, H-GCACGACTT-NH2, was attached a number of lipophilic conjugate molecules including three synthetic tocopherol (vitamin E) analogues. Studies were then undertaken with complementary PNA and DNA sequences to explore the effects of the conjugates using the techniques of UV monitored melting curves and isothermal calorimetry. Duplex form...
متن کاملHybridisation based DNA screening on peptide nucleic acid (PNA) oligomer arrays.
Arrays of up to some 1000 PNA oligomers of individual sequence were synthesised on polymer membranes using a robotic device originally designed for peptide synthesis. At approximately 96%, the stepwise synthesis efficiency was comparable to standard PNA synthesis procedures. Optionally, the individual, fully deprotected PNA oligomers could be removed from the support for further use, because an...
متن کاملDesign, synthesis, conformational analysis and nucleic acid hybridisation properties of thymidyl pyrrolidine-amide oligonucleotide mimics (POM).
Pyrrolidine-amide oligonucleotide mimics (POM) 1 were designed to be stereochemically and conformationally similar to natural nucleic acids, but with an oppositely charged, cationic backbone. Molecular modelling reveals that the lowest energy conformation of a thymidyl-POM monomer is similar to the conformation adopted by ribonucleosides. An efficient solution phase synthesis of the thymidyl PO...
