additional information | identification of three RNA aptamers from a ssDNA random library through SELEX-process, which bind strongly to the light chain of type A BoNT and inhibit the endopeptidase activity, with IC50 in low nM range. Inhibition kinetic studies reveal low nM KI and non-competitive nature of their inhibition, enzyme docking study, and inhibition kinetics, overview | Clostridium botulinum | |
S132B-C11 | a RNA aptamer that inhibits the enzyme's endopeptidase activity in a non-competitive manner. The core sequence is GACAGCGUGCCUAGAAGUCCAAGCUUAAAUAACCACGCUCGACAAGC, structure, overview | Clostridium botulinum | |
S132B-C12 | a RNA aptamer that inhibits the enzyme's endopeptidase activity in a non-competitive manner. The core sequence is ACAACCCGGAACAACGUCUAACAGUGUACCAUAACCCGGCAUUCA, structure, overview | Clostridium botulinum | |
