Peptides for nucleic acid delivery
Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2016 Nucleic acids and their synthetic oligonucleotide (ON) analogs are a group of gene therapeutic compounds which hold enormous clinical potential. Despite their undoubted potential, clinical translation of these molecules, however, has been largely held back by their limited bioavailability in the target tissues/cells.

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.

Exploring Protein-Protein Interactions as Drug Targets for Anti-cancer Therapy with In Silico Workflows [PDF]
, 2017 We describe a computational protocol to aid the design of small molecule and peptide drugs that target protein-protein interactions, particularly for anti-cancer therapy. To achieve this goal, we explore multiple strategies, including finding binding hot

Effect of native gastric mucus on in vivo hybridization therapies directed at Helicobacter pylori [PDF]
, 2015 Helicobacter pylori infects more than 50% of the worldwide population. It is mostly found deep in the gastric mucus lining of the stomach, being a major cause of peptic ulcers and gastric adenocarcinoma. To face the increasing resistance of H.

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 ...

Efficient cell penetration and delivery of peptide nucleic acids by an argininocalix[4]arene
Scientific Reports, 2019 The application of Peptide Nucleic Acids (PNAs), mimics of DNA lacking the sugar-phosphate backbone, for antisense/anti-gene therapy and gene editing is limited by their low uptake by cells. Currently, no simple and efficient delivery systems and methods

Peptide nucleic acid-zirconium coordination nanoparticles [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 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.

Specific recognition of a multiply phosphorylated motif in the DNA repair scaffold XRCC1 by the FHA domain of human PNK. [PDF]
, 2009 Short-patch repair of DNA single-strand breaks and gaps (SSB) is coordinated by XRCC1, a scaffold protein that recruits the DNA polymerase and DNA ligase required for filling and sealing the damaged strand.
