A Click Chemistry Approach to Developing Molecularly Targeted DNA Scissors
2020
Chemistry - A European Journal
Therefore, the TFO and 'clicked' ligands work synergistically to provide sequence-selectivity to the copper cutting unit which, in turn, confers high stabilisation to the DNA triplex. ...
Several of the hybrids provide significant stabilisation toward melting in parallel triplexes (>20 °C) and DNA damage can be triggered upon copper binding in the presence of added reductant. ...
Another tertiary structure is triplex DNA which is formed by the sequence-specific binding of a triplex forming oligonucleotide (TFO) in the major groove of duplex DNA. ...

Evolving cheating DNA networks: a Case Study with the Rock–Paper–Scissors Game
2013
Advances in Artificial Life, ECAL 2013
More specifically, those individuals were represented as biochemical systems built on the DNA toolbox, a paradigm that allows both easy in-vitro implementation and predictive in-silico simulation. ...
In the game of rock-paper-scissors, the simple monitoring of the opponent's move before it was played is a sufficient condition to trigger an arms race of detection and misinformation among evolved individuals ...
Each possible move (rock, paper or scissors) is mapped to a specific chemical species (DNA sequences, more specifically signal sequences from the DNA toolbox). ...
