Peptide nucleic acid-zirconium coordination nanoparticles. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 AbstractIdeal drug carriers feature a high loading capacity to minimize the exposure of patients with excessive, inactive carrier materials. The highest imaginable loading capacity could be achieved by nanocarriers, which are assembled from the therapeutic cargo molecules themselves.

Shorter Peptide Nucleic Acid Probes Improve Affibody-Mediated Peptide Nucleic Acid-Based Pretargeting. [PDF]
ACS Pharmacol Transl SciAffibody-mediated PNA-based pretargeting shows promise for HER2-expressing tumor radiotherapy. In our recent study, a 15-mer ZHER2:342-HP15 affibody-PNA conjugate, in combination with a shorter 9-mer [177Lu]Lu-HP16 effector probe, emerged as the most effective pretargeting strategy.

Exploiting double exchange Diels-Alder cycloadditions for immobilization of peptide nucleic acids on gold nanoparticles [PDF]
, 2020 The generation of PNA-decorated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has revealed to be more difficult as compared to the generation of DNA-functionalized ones. The less polar nature of this artificial nucleic acid system and the associated tendency of the neutral

Peptide Nucleic Acid Microarrays [PDF]
, 2004 A fast and economical procedure for the production of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) microarrays is presented. PNA oligomers are synthesized in a fully automatic manner in 96-well plates using standard Fmoc chemistry. Subsequently, the oligomers are released from the support and spotted onto glass or silicone slides, which were activated by succinimidyl ...

A motif unique to the human DEAD-box protein DDX3 is important for nucleic acid binding, ATP hydrolysis, RNA/DNA unwinding and HIV-1 replication [PDF]
, 2011 DEAD-box proteins are enzymes endowed with nucleic acid-dependent ATPase, RNA translocase and unwinding activities. The human DEAD-box protein DDX3 has been shown to play important roles in tumor proliferation and viral infections.

Antisense PNA accumulates in Escherichia coli and mediates a long post-antibiotic effect [PDF]
, 2007 Antisense agents that target growth-essential genes display surprisingly potent bactericidal properties. In particular, peptide nucleic acid (PNA) and phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers linked to cationic carrier peptides are effective in time kill ...

Synthetic RNA Silencing of Actinorhodin Biosynthesis in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) [PDF]
, 2013 We demonstrate the first application of synthetic RNA gene silencers in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). Peptide nucleic acid and expressed antisense RNA silencers successfully inhibited actinorhodin production.

Study of E. coli Hfq's RNA annealing acceleration and duplex destabilization activities using substrates with different GC-contents [PDF]
, 2012 Folding of RNA molecules into their functional three-dimensional structures is often supported by RNA chaperones, some of which can catalyse the two elementary reactions helix disruption and helix formation.
