RNA interference and small interfering RNAs

T Tuschl - Chembiochem, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
It has long been thought that sequence-specific PTGS required a nucleic acid polymer to
guide mRNA cleavage.[35] The presence of an antisense RNA species complementary to …

RNA interference: from basic research to therapeutic applications

J Kurreck - Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
An efficient mechanism for the sequence‐specific inhibition of gene expression is RNA
interference. In this process, double‐stranded RNA molecules induce cleavage of a selected …

Small interfering RNAs and their chemical synthesis

R Micura - Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Improved protecting‐group strategies are used in two successful methods for the synthesis
of oligoribonucleotides. The effective production of these compounds is of growing …

RNA interference: a chemist's perspective

JW Gaynor, BJ Campbell, R Cosstick - Chemical Society Reviews, 2010 - pubs.rsc.org
Since the first unequivocal description of RNA interference (RNAi) in 1998, it has remained
one of the hottest topics under investigation, culminating in the award of a Nobel Prize to its …

Gene silencing by double‐stranded RNA (Nobel lecture)

AZ Fire - Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
I would like to thank the Nobel Assembly of the Karolinska Institute for the opportunity to
describe some recent work on RNA‐triggered gene silencing. First a few disclaimers …

RNA interference in cancer

AL Gartel, ES Kandel - Biomolecular engineering, 2006 - Elsevier
In the recent years, RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a major regulatory mechanism
in eukaryotic gene expression. The realization that changes in the levels of microRNAs are …

[PDF][PDF] RNAi in human cells: basic structural and functional features of small interfering RNA

YL Chiu, TM Rana - Molecular cell, 2002 - cell.com
We investigated the mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi) in human cells. Here we
demonstrate that the status of the 5′ hydroxyl terminus of the antisense strand of a siRNA …

Recognizing and exploiting differences between RNAi and small-molecule inhibitors

WA Weiss, SS Taylor, KM Shokat - Nature chemical biology, 2007 - nature.com
The biology of RNA interference has greatly facilitated analysis of loss-of-function
phenotypes, but correlating these phenotypes with small-molecule inhibition profiles is not …

RNA interference: from an ancient mechanism to a state of the art therapeutic application?

C Arenz, U Schepers - Naturwissenschaften, 2003 - Springer
Now that the sequencing of many genomes has been completed, the basic challenges are
finding the genes and predicting their functions. Up until now, a large information gap has …
