A DNAzyme requiring two different metal ions at two distinct sites
Zhou, Wenhu; Zhang, Yupei; Huang, Po-Jung Jimmy; Ding, Jinsong; Liu, Juewen (Oxford University Press, 2015-12-10)Most previously reported RNA-cleaving DNAzymes require only a single divalent metal ion for catalysis. We recently reported a general trivalent lanthanide-dependent DNAzyme named Ce13d. This work shows that Ce13d requires ... -
In Vitro Selection in Serum: RNA-Cleaving DNAzymes for Measuring Ca2+ and Mg2+
Zhou, Wenhu; Zhang, Yupei; Ding, Jinsong; Liu, Juewen (American Chemical Society, 2016-05-27)RNA-cleaving DNAzymes have been attempted as in vivo analytical probes and gene silencing reagents over the past two decades. Despite progress already achieved, concerns still exist regarding the activity of DNAzymes in ...
