LNA (locked nucleic acid): high-affinity targeting of complementary RNA and DNA.

abstract：:Biotin synthase (BioB) is an iron-sulfur dimeric enzyme which catalyzes the last step in biotin synthesis. The reaction consists of the introduction of a sulfur atom into dethiobiotin. It is shown here that BioB displays a significant cysteine desulfurase activity, providing it with the ability to mobilize sulfur from...
