DNA triple helices and biomedicine
What is it about?
DNA triple helices are non-cannonical DNA structures that can be use for regulation of gene expression. We review the studies of these structures especially in the area of design of novel nucleosides that enhance the thermodynamic stability of these structures in order to generate modified oligonucleotides with enhanced binding properties to their DNA or RNA targets
Why is it important?
Modified triplex-forming oligonucleotides have interesting properties in regulation of gene expression, mutation repair and as capture probes for diagnostics. Increasing thermodynamic stability on triplex formation may provide novel tools with higher efficacy as drugs or as capture probes in DNA biosensing.
