RNA interference and chemically modified siRNAs.
RNA interference (RNAi) represents one of the most promising new frontiers in drug discovery. Short double-stranded RNA molecules are able to sequence-specifically inhibit expression of genes. This young technology offers both opportunities and challenges to nucleic acid chemists.
