Thermodynamics and NMR of internal G.T mismatches in DNA.

abstract：:Mutations in the Kirsten ras (KRAS) gene are present in almost all pancreatic adenocarcinomas, and one common mutation is at codon 12: GGT (Gly) is transformed into GAT (Asp). In this work we have targeted the KRAS coding sequence embracing the GAT mutation with a sense PNA molecule (P14), with the aim of downregulati...
