Base-modified siRNA

In vitro optimization and in vivo regulation of the properties of siRNAs are often inseparable from chemical modifications. Chemically modified siRNAs exhibit better stability, specificity and cellular uptake, and furthermore will yield better gene silencing effects. BOC Sciences is dedicated to provide you with professional base-modified siRNA, and also includes custom modified siRNA on demand.

Base Modifications in siRNA

Modified bases, also known as rare bases, are derivatives of bases other than the major base (ATCGU). tRNAs tend to contain a high number of rare bases, with some tRNAs containing up to 10% rare bases. Similar to the functions of other chemical modifications, base modifications have an important role in tuning and optimizing siRNA properties, including stability, nuclease resistance, cellular uptake, targeting, cytotoxicity, immunogenicity and gene silencing efficiency. For example, pseudouridine modification is a hot and very critical step in RNA vaccine development today, and is important in determining the efficiency of vaccine action.
