Modulation of oligonucleotide duplex and triplex stability via hydrophobic interactions.
Synthetic oligonucleotides have been proposed as a new rationally designed class of pharmaceuticals with a mechanism of action based upon a Watson-Crick and/or Hoogsteen type of base pairing with RNA or DNA regions of interest. Two series of 3'-cholesterol and/or 5'-cholesterol conjugated oligonucleotides have been synthesized. The primary structure of these compounds was conceived in a way tha...
متن کاملComparison of Duplex and Triplex Memory Reliability
A large number of choices exist when designing a reliable memory system. The choices range from simple replication to complex error control codes (ECC). An intermediate solution is to use combination of replication and simple ECC. Such a system consists of multiple memory modules, data stored in each module being encoded using an ECC. This paper compares reliability of memory systems formed usi...
متن کاملContribution of hydrophobic interactions to protein stability.
Our goal was to gain a better understanding of the contribution of hydrophobic interactions to protein stability. We measured the change in conformational stability, Δ(ΔG), for hydrophobic mutants of four proteins: villin headpiece subdomain (VHP) with 36 residues, a surface protein from Borrelia burgdorferi (VlsE) with 341 residues, and two proteins previously studied in our laboratory, ribonu...
متن کاملTargeted gene knock in and sequence modulation mediated by a psoralen-linked triplex-forming oligonucleotide.
Information from exogenous donor DNA can be introduced into the genome via homology-directed repair (HDR) pathways. These pathways are stimulated by double strand breaks and by DNA damage such as interstrand cross-links. We have employed triple helix-forming oligonucleotides linked to psoralen (pso-TFO) to introduce a DNA interstrand cross-link at a specific site in the genome of living mammali...
متن کاملHammerhead ribozyme activity and oligonucleotide duplex stability in mixed solutions of water and organic compounds
Nucleic acids are useful for biomedical targeting and sensing applications in which the molecular environment is different from that of a dilute aqueous solution. In this study, the influence of various types of mixed solutions of water and water-soluble organic compounds on RNA was investigated by measuring the catalytic activity of the hammerhead ribozyme and the thermodynamic stability of an...
