Abstract excerpt
The 10-23 RNA-cleaving DNAzymes require divalent metal ions, preferentially Mg(2+), for catalytic activity. For intracellular applications, it is important that a DNAzyme can perform maximal cleavage at physiological concentration of Mg(2+) (0.2-2mM). We designed DNAzymes targeting the mRNA of hu...
