Abstract:DNA mimicry has been the subject of intensive research and resulted in the development of DNA analogues such as PNAs and LNAs. There are also examples of proteins with structural and/or charge distribution analogies with respect to the DNA double helix which allow them to interfere with other DNA-binding proteins and modulate the biological processes in which they are involved. We previously characterized a new class of DNA-surface mimic molecules constituted by repetitions of dimeric units of 8-amino-2-quinol… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
