Journal ArticleDOI

LNA (Locked Nucleic Acids): Synthesis of the adenine, cytosine, guanine, 5-methylcytosine, thymine and uracil bicyclonucleoside monomers, oligomerisation, and unprecedented nucleic acid recognition

TL;DR: Studies of mis-matched sequences show that LNA obey the Watson-Crick base pairing rules with generally improved selectivities compared to the corresponding unmodified reference strands.
Journal ArticleDOI

The first analogues of LNA (locked nucleic acids): phosphorothioate-LNA and 2'-thio-LNA.

TL;DR: A 9-mer phosphorothioate-LNA containing three LNA thymine monomers were able to recognize both complementary DNA and RNA with thermal affinities comparable to those of parent LNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transforming growth factor-β superfamily ligand trap ACE-536 corrects anemia by promoting late-stage erythropoiesis

TL;DR: Analysis of regulation of erythropoiesis using a ligand-trapping fusion protein containing the extracellular domain of human activin receptor type IIB modified to reduce activin binding implicate transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily signaling in erythroid maturation and identify ACE-536 as a new potential treatment for anemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Template-directed oligonucleotide strand ligation, covalent intramolecular DNA circularization and catenation using click chemistry.

TL;DR: A template-free click-ligation reaction has been used for the intramolecular circularization of a single stranded oligonucleotide which was used as a template for the synthesis of a covalently closed DNA catenane.
