چکیده
S ince the identification of the first artificial deoxyribozyme (DNA enzyme, DNAzyme) in 1994, significant progress has been made in our fundamental understanding of DNA’s capabilities as a catalyst. Many efforts have also used deoxyribozymes as critical components within analytical applications. This review addresses some of the recent developments in the area of DNA catalysis, with focus on deoxyribozymes that either cleave or ligate two RNA oligonucleotide substrates.

متن کاملDNA as a versatile chemical component for catalysis, encoding, and stereocontrol.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material common to all of Earth's organisms. Our biological understanding of DNA is extensive and well-exploited. In recent years, chemists have begun to develop DNA for nonbiological applications in catalysis, encoding, and stereochemical control. This Review summarizes key advances in these three exciting research areas, each of which takes advantage...
متن کاملReview of mechanisms and recent advances in cancer photo thermal therapy
Abstract. Cancer is a major health problem all over the world. Photo thermal therapy (PTT) is a non-invasive method in cancer treatment. In PTT, the laser light usually in near-infra red region is absorbed and converted to heat in the cancerous tissue. The temperature above 40 ° C in PTT can induce some effects including irreversible damage to proteins, changes in enzyme struc...
