20100056475 | CYCLODEXTRIN CONJUGATES - It has been discovered that the uptake of anionic charged species into cells can be enhanced by noncovalently associating such species with specifically modified forms of cyclodextrin. The invention modified forms of cyclodextrin form well defined stoichiometric complexes with anionic charged molecules. This discovery enables one to produce various compositions containing anionic charged molecules and facilitates methods for enhancing the cellular uptake of double-stranded or hairpin nucleic acid. | 03-04-2010 |
20100056612 | MOLECULAR ENTITIES FOR BINDING, STABILIZATION AND CELLULAR DELIVERY OF CHARGED MOLECULES - In accordance with the present invention, it has been discovered that the uptake of charged molecules into cells can be enhanced by noncovalently associating such molecules with molecular entities comprising an amphiphilic core with oppositely charged arms. The molecular entities form well defined stoichiometric complexes with charged molecules. Various compositions and methods for stabilizing anionic charged molecules and for enhancing the cellular uptake of any anionic charged molecules, e.g. double-stranded or hairpin nucleic acid, are provided. | 03-04-2010 |
20100197041 | NUCLEIC ACID BINDING ASSAYS - This invention relates to methods for screening compounds for the ability to interact with a nucleic acid target, assay kits useful thereof and compositions regarding same. In a particular aspect, the invention relates to specific binding assays employing fluorescent label(s). The methods involve assessing the conformation of nuclei acid targets in the presence and absence of test compounds, and identifying as a ligand any test ligand that causes a measurable conformation change in nuclei acid targets. The effect of compounds on target nuclei acids conformation is assessed by measuring the fluorescence changes of a fluorescently label(s) attached hereto. | 08-05-2010 |
