MNAzyme-catalyzed nucleic acid detection enhanced by a cationic copolymer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multi-component nucleotide acid enzymes (MNAzymes) derived from RNase-mimic DNAzymes have potential as simple and accurate DNA detectors. To enhance the MNAzyme activity under multiple-turnover conditions, a cationic comb-type copolymer, PLL-g-Dex, that facilitates hybridization and strand exchange reactions of DNA was utilized. The copolymer increased the MNAzyme reaction rate by 200 times, allowing target DNA detection at picomolar concentrations at physiological temperature.

Enhancement of deoxyribozyme activity by cationic copolymers.
Deoxyribozymes, or DNAzymes, are DNA molecules with enzymatic activity. DNAzymes with ribonuclease activity have various potential applications in biomedical and bioanalytical fields; however, most constructs have limited turnover despite optimization of reaction conditions and DNAzyme structures. A cationic comb-type copolymer accelerates DNA hybridization and strand exchange rates, and we hyp...

BACKGROUND Elderly infected with Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) often bear low viral loads that stay below the detection limits of commercial assays. A more sensitive detection of RSV infections can improve patient management, guide containment strategies, and possibly prevent morbidity and mortality among populations most severely affected by RSV. OBJECTIVE To test the sensitivity f...
متن کاملCooperative enhancement of deoxyribozyme activity by chemical modification and added cationic copolymer
Deoxyribozymes (DNAzymes) having RNA-cleaving activity have widely been explored as tools for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. Both the chemical cleaving step and the turnover step should be improved for enhancing overall activity of DNAzymes. We have shown that cationic copolymer enhanced DNAzyme activity by increasing turnover efficacy. In this paper, effectｓ of the copolymer on DNAzymes ...
