  • Locked nucleic acids: promising nucleic acid analogs for therapeutic applications
    Chemistry & Biodiversity, 2010
    Co-Authors: Rakesh Naduvile Veedu, Jesper Wengel
    Abstract:

    Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) is a unique nucleic-acid modification possessing very high binding affinity and excellent specificity toward Complementary RNA or DNA oligonucleotides. The remarkable properties exhibited by LNA oligonucleotides have been employed in different nucleic acid-based therapeutic strategies both in vitro and in vivo. Herein, we highlight the applications of LNA nucleotides for controlling gene expression.

  • locked nucleic acid high affinity targeting of Complementary RNA for rnomics
    Handbook of experimental pharmacology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Sakari Kauppinen, Birte Vester, Jesper Wengel
    Abstract:

    Locked nucleic acid (LNA) is a nucleic acid analog containing one or more LNA nucleotide monomers with a bicyclic furanose unit locked in an RNA-mimicking sugar conformation. This conformational restriction is translated into unprecedented hybridization affinity towards Complementary single-stranded RNA molecules. That makes fully modified LNAs, LNA/DNA mixmers, or LNA/RNA mixmers uniquely suited for mimicking RNA structures and for RNA targeting in vitro or in vivo. The focus of this chapter is on LNA antisense, LNA-modified DNAzymes (LNAzymes), LNA-modified small interfering (si)RNA (siLNA), LNA-enhanced expression profiling by real-time RT-PCR and detection and analysis of microRNAs by LNA-modified probes.

  • lna locked nucleic acid high affinity targeting of Complementary RNA and dna
    Biochemistry, 2004
    Co-Authors: Birte Vester, Jesper Wengel
    Abstract:

    Locked nucleic acid (LNA) is a nucleic acid analogue containing one or more LNA nucleotide monomers with a bicyclic furanose unit locked in an RNA mimicking sugar conformation. LNA oligonucleotides display unprecedented hybridization affinity toward Complementary single-stranded RNA and Complementary single- or double-stranded DNA. Structural studies have shown that LNA oligonucleotides induce A-type (RNA-like) duplex conformations. The wide applicability of LNA oligonucleotides for gene silencing and their use for research and diagnostic purposes are documented in a number of recent reports, some of which are described herein.
