Double-Stranded RNA Resists Condensation
Physical Review Letters, 2011 Much attention has been focused on DNA condensation because of its fundamental biological importance. The recent discovery of new roles for RNA duplexes demands efficient packaging of double-stranded RNA for therapeutics. Here we report measurements of short DNA and RNA duplexes in the presence of trivalent ions.

Rotavirus infection induces transient pancreatic involution and hyperglycemia in weanling mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Rotavirus is a ubiquitous double-stranded RNA virus responsible for most cases of infantile gastroenteritis. It infects pancreatic islets in vitro and is implicated as a trigger of autoimmune destruction of islet beta cells leading to type 1 diabetes ...

A phagocytic route for uptake of double-stranded RNA in RNAi. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 RNA interference (RNAi) has a range of physiological functions including as a defence mechanism against viruses. To protect uninfected cells in a multicellular organism, not only a cell-autonomous RNAi response is required but also a systemic one ...

Heliyon, 2021 Background: Emerging viruses could be detected before reaching pandemic level if universal viral detection screening was routinely used. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is the only common antigen across most viral families.

Single-stranded endonuclease activity in the excretory--secretory products of Trichinella spiralis and Trichinella pseudospiralis [PDF]
, 2000 A novel acidic extracellular single-stranded endonuclease was demonstrated for the first time in the excretory-secretory (E-S) products of 2 species of Trichinella. Unlike the double-stranded endonuclease reported earlier, the single-stranded molecule is

Site-specific RNase A activity was dramatically reduced in serum from multiple types of cancer patients. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Potent RNase activities were found in the serum of mammals but the physiological function of the RNases was never well illustrated, largely due to the caveats in methods of RNase activity measurement.

A model for the force stretching double-stranded chain molecules
, 2002 We modify and extend the recently developed statistical mechanical model for predicting the thermodynamic properties of chain molecules having noncovalent double-stranded conformations, as in RNA or ssDNA, and $\beta-$sheets in protein, by including the ...

Double-stranded RNA elements associated with the MVX disease of Agaricus bisporus [PDF]
, 2003 Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) has been isolated from Agaricus bisporus fruit bodies exhibiting a wide range of disease symptoms. The symptoms which occurred singularly or in combination included; bare cropping areas on commercial beds (primordia disruption)

Why double-stranded RNA resists condensation [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2014 The addition of small amounts of multivalent cations to solutions containing double-stranded DNA leads to inter-DNA attraction and eventual condensation. Surprisingly, the condensation is suppressed in double-stranded RNA, which carries the same negative charge as DNA, but assumes a different double helical form.
