Quadruplex formation is necessary for stable PNA invasion into duplex DNA of BCL2 promoter region
2011
Nucleic Acids Research
Using the gel shift assay, chemical probing and dimethyl sulfate (DMS) protection studies, we determined that uncharged zwitterionic PNA has the highest binding specificity while preserving efficient duplex ...
In addition, we examined DNA-duplex invasion potential of PNAs of various charges. ...
There are several studies performed where formation of secondary structures in DNA is related with the increased ability to bind complementary oligonucleotide probes. ...

Molecular Beacon−Metal Nanowire Interface: Effect of Probe Sequence and Surface Coverage on Sensor Performance
2008
Langmuir
We report the effect of surface coverage and sequence on the performance of 5′ thiolated, 3′ fluorophore-labeled DNA hairpin probes bound to Au/Ag striped ("barcoded") metal nanowires. ...
Because we are interested in multiplexed assays, we also compared several beacon probe sequences having different stabilities for secondary structure formation in solution; we found that both probe surface ...

In-silico design of DNA oligonucleotides: Challenges and approaches
2019
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal
The key event of each oligonucleotide-based assay is the specific binding between oligonucleotides and their target DNA. ...
However, single-stranded DNA molecules also tend to bind to unintended targets or themselves. The probability of such unspecific binding increases with the complexity of an assay. ...
Secondary Structure Formation As oligonucleotides are single-stranded DNA molecules, they can form secondary structures and limit the hybridization of oligonucleotides to the target DNA [72] [73] [74] ...

Molecular-Beacon-Based Tricomponent Probe for SNP Analysis in Folded Nucleic Acids
2011
Chemistry - A European Journal
Here we demonstrate that MB probe is not efficient in direct analysis of secondary structure-folded analytes, while MB-based tricomponent probe is suitable for these purposes. ...
Hybridization probes are often inefficient in the analysis of single-stranded DNA or RNA that are folded in stable secondary structures. ...

Distance-Dependent Emission from Dye-Labeled Oligonucleotides on Striped Au/Ag Nanowires: Effect of Secondary Structure and Hybridization Efficiency
2006
Journal of the American Chemical Society
We present experiments exploring the effect of label position and secondary structure in oligonucleotide probes as a function of hybridization buffer, which impacts the percentage of double-stranded probes ...

Microarrays for identifying binding sites and probing structure of RNAs
2014
Nucleic Acids Research
In this review, application of oligonucleotide microarrays for identifying binding sites and probing structure of RNAs is described. Deep sequencing allows fast determination of DNA and RNA sequence. ...
High-throughput methods for determination of secondary structures of RNAs have also been developed. Those methods, however, do not reveal binding sites for oligonucleotides. ...

DNA Suspension Arrays: Silencing Discrete Artifacts for High-Sensitivity Applications
2010
PLoS ONE
Specifically: 1) tethering of unligated probes on the template DNA elicited false signal and 2) unpredictable probe secondary structures impaired probe capture and suppressed legitimate signal from the ...
Two sets of oligonucleotides were used to disrupt these structures; one to displace unligated reporter labels from the bead-bound species and another to occupy sequences which interfered with array hybridization ...
