Genomic DNA is a huge molecule that is compacted to fit into the nucleus of cells. We know that it holds the genetic information needed to build an organism. But there is more than just genomic DNA.

DNAzymes are precision biocatalysts that destroy unwanted RNA molecules. However, major obstacles to their use in medicine remain. Together with Jülich Research Centre (FZJ) and the University of Bonn ...

For about two decades, chemists have been synthesizing libraries of single-stranded DNAs and screening them for ones that can catalyze specific reactions. Scientists think these DNA enzymes, or ...

Irvine, Calif., May 8, 2023 — Researchers from the University of California, Irvine have developed a DNA enzyme – or DNAzyme – that can distinguish between two RNA strands inside a cell and cut the ...

Please can you explain what DNAzymes and gold nanoparticles are? Gold nanoparticles are tiny spherical particles made out of gold atoms with sizes on nanometre scale. This is around 1,000 times ...

Called Sentinel Wrap, it's coated on one side with a microarray of droplets of DNA molecules known as DNAzymes. When pathogens such as E. coli come into contact with them, those DNAzymes fluoresce.

DNAzymes are precision biocatalysts that destroy unwanted RNA molecules. However, major obstacles to their use in medicine remain. Scientists have investigated with atomic resolution how DNAzymes work ...

Researchers have developed a DNA enzyme -- or DNAzyme -- that can distinguish between two RNA strands inside a cell and cut the disease-associated strand while leaving the healthy strand intact. This ...

(Nanowerk News) DNAzymes – a word made up of DNA and enzyme – are catalytically active DNA sequences. They comprise a catalytic core comprising around 15 nucleic acids flanked by short binding arms on ...
