The ectodomain of Toll-like receptor 9 is cleaved to generate a functional receptor. [PDF]
, 2008 Mammalian Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 3, 7, 8 and 9 initiate immune responses to infection by recognizing microbial nucleic acids; however, these responses come at the cost of potential autoimmunity owing to inappropriate recognition of self nucleic acids.

Atomic Structures of Molecules Based on Additivity of Atomic and/or Ionic Radii [PDF]
, 2009 The authors have shown in recent years that interatomic and interionic distances are sums of the radii of the adjacent atoms and/or ions. Many examples will be provided and it will be shown how the experimental bond lengths agree with the radii sums. The

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2012 Nucleic acids are an important class of biological macromolecules that carry out a variety of cellular roles. For many functions, naturally occurring DNA and RNA molecules need to fold into precise three-dimensional structures. Due to their self-assembling characteristics, nucleic acids have also been widely studied in the field of nanotechnology, and ...

Catalytic Knockdown of miR-21 by Artificial Ribonuclease: Biological Performance in Tumor Model
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019 Control of the expression of oncogenic small non-coding RNAs, notably microRNAs (miRNAs), is an attractive therapeutic approach. We report a design platform for catalytic knockdown of miRNA targets with artificial, sequence-specific ribonucleases ...

Enhanced Hybridization Selectivity Using Structured GammaPNA Probes
Molecules, 2020 High affinity nucleic acid analogues such as gammaPNA (γPNA) are capable of invading stable secondary and tertiary structures in DNA and RNA targets but are susceptible to off-target binding to mismatch-containing sequences.
