[Destabilization and stabilization of poly(A).poly(U) structure by platinum(II) compounds]
Abstract:
On the basis of molecular biophysics, a methodology for the analysis of intramolecular structural order of the polynucleotide duplex poly(A).poly(U) has been developed. It was shown that the combination of circular dichroism spectroscopy with differential scanning calorimetry is an optimal approach, which ensures the screening of a wide set of substances and interaction conditions and the choice of compound(s) that can stabilize the structure and increase the biological activity of this duplex. The study is aimed at obtaining a new and highly active antiviral remedy.
