Design and characterization of decoy oligonucleotides containing locked nucleic acids.
Transfection of cis-element double-stranded oligonucleotides, referred to as decoy ODNs, has been reported to be a powerful tool that provides a new class of antigene strategies for gene therapy. However, one of the major limitations of the decoy approach is the rapid degradation of phosphodiester oligonucleotides by intracellular nucleases. To date, several DNA analogs have been employed to ov...

INTRODUCTION On a daily basis, medical doctors encounter patients with symptoms of infection. Based on the anamnesis, clinical examination, blood sampling and radiology, a number of working hypotheses are generated some more likely than others. Often the most likely cause of disease is an infection of bacterial origin. Relevant clinical samples will be obtained followed by initiation of empiric...
متن کاملAntisense properties of peptide nucleic acids.
PNA is a nucleic acid analog with an achiral polyamide backbone consisting of N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine units (figure 1). The purine or pyrimidine bases are linked to the each unit via a methylene carbonyl linker (1-3) to target the complementary nucleic acid (4). PNA binds to complementary RNA or DNA in a parallel or antiparallel orientation following the Watson-Crick base-pairing rules (5-7). T...
متن کاملPeptide nucleic acids in materials science
This review highlights the recent methods to prepare PNA-based materials through a combination of self-assembly and self-organization processes. The use of these methods allows easy and versatile preparation of structured hybrid materials showing specific recognition properties and unique physicochemical properties at the nano- and micro-scale levels displaying potential applications in several...
متن کاملFormulation, Characterization and Optimization of Liposomes Containing Eicosapentaenoic and Docosahexaenoic acids; A Methodology Approach
Omega-3 fatty acids (FAs) have been shown to prevent cardiovascular disease. The most commonly used omega-3 fatty acids like eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are highly vulnerable to oxidation and therefore, have short shelf life. Recent advances in nanoliposomes provided a biocompatible system for stabilizing omega-3 FAs. Several methods could be implemented to prepar...
