Delivering Small Interfering RNA for Novel Therapeutics [PDF]
The gene silencing capability of RNA interference (RNAi) is being used to study individual gene's biological function and role in biochemical pathways. However, the efficacy of RNAi depends upon efficient delivery of the intermediates of RNAi, small interfering RNA (siRNA) oligonucleotides.

Predicting RNA-small molecule binding sites by 3D structure [PDF]
The prediction of RNA-small molecule binding sites is crucial for the discovery of effective drugs. Various computational methods have been developed to address this challenge, using information about the structure and sequence of RNA. In this study, we introduce CplxCavity, a combination of a new algorithm and a machine learning model specifically ...

Unraveling siRNA Unzipping Kinetics with Graphene [PDF]
Using all atom molecular dynamics simulations, we report spontaneous unzipping and strong binding of small interfering RNA (siRNA) on graphene. Our dispersion corrected density functional theory based calculations suggest that nucleosides of RNA have stronger attractive interactions with graphene as compared to DNA residues. These stronger interactions
