Structure, Mechanism of Action, KD Action
1. HDO Structure
HDO is composed as follows. Antisense strand (DNA, Gapmer, PMO etc.): Has a medicinal effectCarrier strand (RNA): Transport active strand (medicina
2. HDO Mechanism of Action（1）
(RNase H-dependent antisense effect)Step 1The HDO carrier strand (RNA) incorporated into the cell is cleaved by RNase H (enzyme).Step 2The antisen
3. HDO Mechanism of Action（2）
(Splicing Control)Step 1HDO enters the cell through some special ligand into the cells.Step 2The carrier stand cleaved by RNase.Step 3The antise
