Abstract

We describe herein topological mRNA capture using branched oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) with multiple reactive functional groups. These fragmented ODNs efficiently formed topological complexes on template mRNA in vitro. In cell-based experiments targeting AcGFP mRNA, the bifurcated reactive ODNs showed a much larger gene silencing effect than the corresponding natural antisense ODN.
