Unzipping and binding of small interfering RNA with single walled carbon nanotube: A platform for small interfering RNA delivery [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Chemical Physics, 2012
In an effort to design efficient platform for siRNA delivery, we combine all atom classical and quantum simulations to study the binding of small interfering RNA (siRNA) by pristine single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT). Our results show that siRNA strongly binds to SWCNT surface via unzipping its base-pairs and the propensity of unzipping increases with

stepRNA: Identification of Dicer cleavage signatures and passenger strand lengths in small RNA sequences

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioinformatics, 2022
The enzyme Dicer is a component of many small RNA (sRNA) pathways involved in RNA processing for post-transcriptional regulation, anti-viral response and control of transposable elements.

Small interfering RNAs in tendon homeostasis

open access: yesBritish Medical Bulletin, 2021
Abstract Background Tenogenesis and tendon homeostasis are guided by genes encoding for the structural molecules of tendon fibres. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), acting on gene regulation, can therefore participate in the process of tendon healing ...

Therapeutic Interfering Particles Exploiting Viral Replication and Assembly Mechanisms Show Promising Performance: A Modelling Study [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 11, 23847 (2021), 2021
Defective interfering particles arise spontaneously during a viral infection as mutants lacking essential parts of the viral genome. Their ability to replicate in the presence of the wild-type (WT) virus (at the expense of viable viral particles) is mimicked and exploited by therapeutic interfering particles.

Small interfering RNA inhibition of Andes virus replication. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Andes virus (ANDV) is the most common causative agent of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the Americas, and is the only hantavirus associated with human-to-human transmission. Case fatality rates of ANDV-induced HPS are approximately 40%. There are

Polymers in Small-Interfering RNA Delivery [PDF]

open access: yesOligonucleotides, 2011
This review will cover the current strategies that are being adopted to efficiently deliver small interfering RNA using nonviral vectors, including the use of polymers such as polyethylenimine, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), polypeptides, chitosan, cyclodextrin, dendrimers, and polymers-containing different nanoparticles.

A small interfering RNA (siRNA) database for SARS-CoV-2

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) rapidly transformed into a global pandemic, for which a demand for developing antivirals capable of targeting the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome and blocking the activity of its genes has emerged.
