摘要:
Disclosed herein are programmable, conditionally activated small interfering RNA constructs (Cond-siRNAs) and methods of making and using the same as therapeutic agents. The Cond-siRNA comprises a sensor strand, a core strand, and a guide strand, which crossover to form a sensor duplex and a RNAi duplex attached to each other to form a single structure. Upon binding an input strand to the sensor strand, the Cond-siRNA is activated and releases RNAi targeting a desired gene.
摘要:
A detector apparatus includes a field-effect transistor configured to undergo a change in amplitude of a source-to-drain current when at least a portion of a charge-tagged molecule translocates through the nanopore. In some implementations, the field-effect transistor is a carbon nanotube field effect transistor and the nanopore is located in a membrane. In other implementations, the field-effect transistor is a carbon nanotube field effect transistor and the nanopore is implemented in the form of a nano-channel in a semiconductor layer.
摘要:
Provided herein are bitter taste receptor ligands, related agents, combinations, compositions, methods and systems for modulating release of a metabolic hormone in vitro and in vivo from cells of the GI tract of an individual.

摘要:
By driving molecules electrophoretically through a nanopore, single molecule detection can be achieved. To enhance translocational control, functionalized and non-functionalized electrodes are strategically placed around or above a nanopore. Changes in transmission spectra and input voltage detected by electrodes allow accurate identification of single molecules as they pass through a nanopore.

摘要:
Provided herein are signal activatable molecular constructs for delivery of molecules and related components, compositions, methods, and systems, having a 17 to 30 bp targeting domain duplex RNA, at least one protection strand having a protection segment and linker segment and a sensor strand having a displacement segment and a toehold segment, in which in an inactive conformation the protection segment and the displacement segment form a sensor domain duplex polynucleotide covalently attached to the targeting domain and presenting the toehold segment for binding to a signal molecule. In an active conformation the sensor strand is bound to the signal molecule and is detached from the at least one protection strand and from the targeting domain; and the targeting domain attaches the at least one protection strand in a configuration allowing processing by Dicer and/or an Argonaute enzyme.
