Laser-mediated, site-specific inactivation of RNA transcripts.
Dilara Grate,Charles J. Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: In this report, the isolation and in vitro characterization of a MG-binding RNA motif is described that may enable the same high-resolution analysis of gene function specifically at the RNA level (RNA-chromophore-assisted laser inactivation).

Inducible regulation of the S. cerevisiae cell cycle mediated by an RNA aptamer-ligand complex.
Dilara Grate,Charles Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: Quantification of CLB2 expression at the RNA and protein levels by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis demonstrates that the aptamer ligand regulates transcript translatability rather than stability, consistent with a model in which translational initiation is blocked by ligand-induced conformational changes in the 5'-UTR.

TL;DR: In this paper, the nucleic acid sensor molecules recognize target molecules which do not naturally bind to DNA by binding a target molecule to the sensor molecules triggers a change in the proximity of the signaling moieties, which leads to a change of the optical properties of the NAs on the biosensor.

TL;DR: In this paper, materials and methods for producing and using aptamers useful as oncology therapeutics capable of binding to PDGF, PDGF isoforms, PD GF receptor, VEGF, and VEGFs receptor or any combination thereof with great affinity and specificity are provided.
