Design of nuclease resistant protein kinase calpha DNA enzymes with potential therapeutic application.

Abstract excerpt

For the therapeutic application of catalytic nucleic acids it is desirable to have small, stable and inexpensive compounds that are active at physiological Mg(2+) concentrations. We have explored the possibility of using the versatile 10-23 DNA catalytic core to suppress the expression of the protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha) isoform in malignant cells. By introducing either a 3'-3'-inverted thymidine nucleotide...
