Abstract excerpt
A small oligodeoxyribonucleotide derived from in vitro selection has been shown to be capable of efficient sequence-specific cleavage of RNA at purine-pyrimidine junctions. As the reaction readily takes place under simulated physiologic conditions, this molecule described as the 10-23 general purpose RNA-cleaving DNA enzyme, has potential as a therapeutic agent. To further explore the character of this prototype,...
