Phosphate Backbone-modified siRNA
Chemically modified siRNAs have better stability and potency compared to unmodified ones, and are important biological tools for studying gene functions and drug targets. BOC Sciences is committed to providing you with high quality and high purity phosphate backbone modified siRNAs, as well as phosphate backbone modified siRNAs according to your needs.
Phosphate Backbone Modifications in siRNA
Phosphate backbone modified siRNAs have been shown to significantly enhance the stability and in vivo bioavailability of siRNAs, mainly by modifying the phosphodiester moiety of ribonucleosides. The non-ester groups of siRNA phosphodiester bonds include -OH and =O, which can be substituted with sulfur, boron or acetate to give phosphorothioate, boron phosphate and phosphonoacetate bonds. Modification of the phosphate backbone of siRNA can alter the chemical structure of the nucleotide chain, thereby increasing the stability of siRNA, improving specificity, and optimizing the function of siRNA.
Figure 1. Phosphate backbone modifications of siRNA.
The modified phosphate backbone can protect the siRNA from being less susceptible to hydrolysis by nucleic acid exonucleases and nucleic acid endonucleases and becomes more stable. However, it is worth noting that some phosphate backbone modifications can affect RISC during RNA interference. For example, phosphorothioate can weaken the efficacy of siRNA by inhibiting the loading of siRNA into the RISC machine. Besides, it can also make the siRNA more immunogenic by making it more likely to bind to immune receptors. However, most of the phosphate backbone modifications contribute to the stability and gene silencing efficiency of siRNA.
