Mechanochemical Activation of DNAzyme by Ultrasound
Controlling the activity of DNAzymes by external triggers is an important task. Here a temporal control over DNAzyme activity through a mechanochemical pathway with the help of ultrasound (US) is demonstrated.

Dissipatively Fueled Unidirectionally Communicating DNA Circuits That Control Biocatalysis. [PDF]
Unidirectionally communicating, out‐of‐equilibrium DNA circuits are used to control enzyme activity. Transient DNAzyme activation generates fuel for temporal trypsin activation. Cyclic fuel‐driven hybridization and exonuclease‐mediated reset enable precise control over lifetimes, which is analyzed using combined experimental and computational ...

Conjugate DNAzymes were synthesized by solid phase fragment condensation and their biological properties were characterized. They have increased affinity to target RNA, enhanced stability against DNase 1 digestion and comparable or higher RNA cleaving activity compared with native and also phosphorothioate DNA zymes.

Silver is a very common heavy metal, and its detection is of significant analytical importance. DNAzymes are DNA-based catalysts; they typically recruit divalent and trivalent metal ions for catalysis. Herein, we report a silver-specific RNA-cleaving DNAzyme named Ag10c obtained after six rounds of in vitro selection. Ag10c displays a catalytic rate of

DNAzymes and cardiovascular disease [PDF]
Gene silencing techniques are gaining increasing popularity in the literature, both as a tool for unravelling gene function and to potentially deliver therapeutic benefit, especially in the context of cardiovascular disease. Gene‐specific catalytic DNA molecules, or DNAzymes, have shown promise in ameliorating the effects of myocardial ischaemia ...

Abstract Deoxyribozymes, DNA enzymes or simply DNAzymes are single-stranded oligo-deoxyribonucleotide molecules that, like proteins and ribozymes, possess the ability to perform catalysis. Although DNAzymes have not yet been found in living organisms, they have been isolated in the laboratory through in vitro selection.

Molecular Features and Metal Ions That Influence 10-23 DNAzyme Activity
Deoxyribozymes (DNAzymes) with RNA hydrolysis activity have a tremendous potential as gene suppression agents for therapeutic applications. The most extensively studied representative is the 10-23 DNAzyme consisting of a catalytic loop and two substrate ...

The impact of Niosomal DNAzyme targeting the NFκB gene on factors involved in cell migration of MCF-7 breast cancer cells [PDF]
Background. As one of the most common human malignancies, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death among women globally. Multiple cellular and molecular mechanisms contribute to the development and progression of breast cancer ...
