THE ABILITY OF LOCKED NUCLEIC ACID OLIGONUCLEOTIDES TO PRE-STRUCTURE THE DOUBLE HELIX: A MOLECULAR SIMULATION AND BINDING STUDY.

The ability of locked nucleic acid oligonucleotides to pre-structure the double helix: A molecular simulation and binding study.

Locked nucleic acid (LNA) oligonucleotides bind DNA target sequences forming Watson-Crick and Hoogsteen base pairs, and are therefore of interest for medical applications.To be biologically active, such an oligonucleotide has to efficiently bind the target sequence.Here we used molecular dynamics simulations and electrophoresis mobility shift assay

Obstructive choledocholithiasis requiring intervention in a three week old neonate: A case report and review of the literature

The discovery of cholelithiasis in neonates is often incidental, however obstructing common bile duct stones are rare.Herein we here report the case of a 3 week old neonate who presented with obstructive choledocholithiasis.The patient was treated conservatively with antibiotics and ursodeoxycholic acid but did not improve.He was therefore taken to
