Thermodynamic criteria for high hit rate antisense oligonucleotide design.
Antisense oligonucleotides are used for therapeutic applications and in functional genomic studies. In practice, however, many of the oligonucleotides complementary to an mRNA have little or no antisense activity. Theoretical strategies to improve the 'hit rate' in antisense screens will reduce the cost of discovery and may lead to identification of antisense oligonucleotides with increased pot...
متن کاملEmpirical establishment of oligonucleotide probe design criteria.
Criteria for the design of gene-specific and group-specific oligonucleotide probes were established experimentally via an oligonucleotide array that contained perfect match (PM) and mismatch probes (50-mers and 70-mers) based upon four genes. The effects of probe-target identity, continuous stretch, mismatch position, and hybridization free energy on specificity were tested. Little hybridizatio...
متن کاملAntisense Oligonucleotide-Based Therapy for Neuromuscular Disease.
Neuromuscular disorders such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Spinal Muscular Atrophy are neurodegenerative genetic diseases characterized primarily by muscle weakness and wasting. Until recently there were no effective therapies for these conditions, but antisense oligonucleotides, a new class of synthetic single stranded molecules of nucleic acids, have demonstrated promising experimental r...
متن کاملAntisense oligonucleotide therapy for neurodegenerative disease.
Neurotoxicity from accumulation of misfolded/mutant proteins is thought to drive pathogenesis in neurodegenerative diseases. Since decreasing levels of proteins responsible for such accumulations is likely to ameliorate disease, a therapeutic strategy has been developed to downregulate almost any gene in the CNS. Modified antisense oligonucleotides, continuously infused intraventricularly, have...
متن کاملOptimum Design of Reciprocating Compressors to Meet Thermodynamic Criteria
A mathematical model of a reciprocating compressor is used in conjunction with a "Complex" method of optimisation to determine the "best" dimensions of a single-stage compressor to meet a prescribed duty. The mathematical procedures provide the basic compressor and valve dimensions by optimising an objective function based, in this instance, on criteria of thermodynamic performance. The conseqe...
