title: Modified siRNAs for the study of the PAZ domain.
abstract: Chemical modifications aimed at stabilizing the interaction between the 3'-end of siRNAs and the PAZ domain of RISC have been tested for their effect on RNAi activity. Such modifications contribute positively to the stability of siRNAs in human serum.
