Abstract
The 5'-monophosphate group plays an important role in strand selection during gene silencing mediated by small-interfering RNA. We show that blocking of 5' phosphorylation of the sense strand by introducing a 5'-morpholino modification improves antisense strand selection and RNAi activity. The 5'-morpholino modification of the antisense strand triggers complete loss of activity.Entities:
