The group trend of lanthanides binding to DNA and DNAzymes with a complex but symmetric pattern
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-07-18)Using sensitized Tb3+ luminescence spectroscopy as a tool, binding of 14 lanthanides to a lanthanide-dependent DNAzyme is studied, where the binding affinity is symmetric across the series and the tightest binding occurs ... -
Two Pb2+-specific DNAzymes with opposite trends in split-site-dependent activity
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-05-04)By splitting the catalytic core of DNAzymes into two halves, two Pb2+-specific DNAzymes retain partial activity, while they show opposite trends of activity as a function of the split site, revealing important nucleotides ...
