Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) Recognition of RNA: NMR Solution Structures of LNA:RNA Hybrids

TL;DR: It is suggested that the change in electronic density at the brim of the minor groove, introduced by the LNA modification, is causing an alteration of the pseudorotational profile of the 3'-flanking nucleotide, thus shifting this sugar equilibrium toward N-type conformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The conformations of locked nucleic acids (LNA).

TL;DR: It is proposed that the exceptional stability of the LNA modified duplexes is caused by a quenching of concerted local backbone motions by the L NA nucleotides in ssLNA so as to decrease the entropy loss on duplex formation combined with a more efficient stacking of the nucleobases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural studies of LNA:RNA duplexes by NMR: conformations and implications for RNase H activity.

TL;DR: Partly modified LNA:RNA duplexes may adopt a duplex structure between the standard A and B types, thereby making the RNA strand amenable to RNase H-mediated degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blocking GM-CSF receptor α with mavrilimumab reduces infiltrating cells, pro-inflammatory markers and neoangiogenesis in ex vivo cultured arteries from patients with giant cell arteritis

TL;DR: The inhibitory effects of mavrilimumab on multiple steps in the GCA pathogenesis cascade in vitro are consistent with the clinical observation of reduced GCA flares in a phase 2 trial and support its development as a therapeutic option for patients with GCA.
