Binding The assay probes are target-specific antibodies conjugated to oligonucleotides through a biotin–streptavidin linkage. Each oligonucleotide in the pair presents a 5′ or 3′ end; these are brought into proximity when the antibodies on the assay probes bind to ...
A peptide is a chain ofamino acids, which are used as building blocks. More commonly, peptides are short proteins with varying lengths from 2 amino acids to 100 amino acids. Peptides can be found in nature and can perform biological functions such as acting as messengers in the body. If ...
Antisense oligonucleotides bind to the TTR protein’s messenger RNA (mRNA), which is vital for the protein’s synthesis, preventing the synthesis of the mutant protein in the liver, which results in the reduction of TTR protein in blood and TTR deposits in tissues. How Are Antisense Oligonucle...
DNA polymerases were named for their function of catalysing DNA replication, a process that is necessary for growth and propagation of life. DNA involving Watson–Crick base-pairing can be synthesized with high fidelity, the structural and mechanistic or
Not only imperfect but also normal short (tri- and longer) oligonucleotides could serve as templates for a synthesis of progenes. It is more convenient for experimental testing of the hypothesis. This postulate shows how the interaction between amino acids and dinucleotides, as well as the one ...

In a complementary study, anti-sense oligonucleotides (ASOs) were used to knock down h-apoE expression in APP/PS1 mice at various time points. When apoE (either apoE3 or apoE4) was reduced at birth, Aβ aggregation and deposition were also significantly reduced, but when apoE was not ...
BNA oligonucleotide (BNA3) can be synthesized with either 100% BNA3 bases or a mixture of BNA/DNA, BNA/RNA bases or other chimeric design. However, only oligonucleotides that are between 7 and 10 mers in length can be made up of 100% BNA. If an oligonucleotide is longer, the 100% BN...
These are synthesized lipids bearing a group that, upon short UV irradiation, will make a fast and irreversible reaction with adjacent proteins. The photoactivatable chromophore may be positioned either at the polar head or within the hydrophobic part of the molecule. The ideal photoactivatable group...
CRISPR (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)–Cas (CRISPR-associated proteins) systems offer bacteria-adaptive protection against extraneous nucleic acids [1,2]. CRISPR–Cas systems vary [3]; however, at present, the type II systems, which are defined by the Cas9 nuclease, are...
