  Non-canonical RNA secondary structures, such as hairpin loops, have been postulated to be involved in a variety of biological functions and may also be important causal factors in human diseases such as cancer and aging of the cell. Because of their selectivity nucleic acid oligonucleotides (ODNs) may be used to target these structures and thus control gene expression. To further our understanding of the physic-chemical properties of unusual RNA structures and their interaction with… Show more Non-canonical RNA secondary structures, such as hairpin loops, have been postulated to be involved in a variety of biological functions and may also be important causal factors in human diseases such as cancer and aging of the cell. Because of their selectivity nucleic acid oligonucleotides (ODNs) may be used to target these structures and thus control gene expression. To further our understanding of the physic-chemical properties of unusual RNA structures and their interaction with complementary single strands we have used a combination of ITC and DSC to determine standard thermodynamic profiles for the reaction of selected hairpins with their partially complementary strands.
