Gene Cleaving
Enzymatic RNA works better when complexed with polymer
Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, January 16th, 2003
However, ribozymes, RNA with enzymatic properties, tend to be unstable. Scientists in Germany may have found a feasible way to override that instability.
The scientists work at Phllips-University Marburg in Marburg, Germany, where they have generated ribozymes that are complexed with low-molecular-weight polyethyleneimine (LMW-PEI). According to researchers, the ribozyme/LMW-PEI constructs have an unparalleled ability to target protein construction with stability and specificity.
"LMW-PEI almost...
