Firmly tied: The binding affinity of amiloride for an abasic (AP) site-containing RNA duplex is two orders of magnitude superior to the affinity of the corresponding AP site-containing DNA duplex. The observed high binding affinity for the RNA duplex arises from a favorable enthalpy gain. The binding-induced fluorescence response of amiloride is applicable to microRNA detection.
阿米洛利与含 AP 位点的 RNA 双链体的结合亲和力比相应的含 AP 位点的 DNA 双链体的亲和力高出两个数量级。对 RNA 双链体的高结合亲和力源于有利的焓变收益。阿米洛利的结合诱导荧光响应可适用于 microRNA 检测。
