Most Important Scientific Achievements of the Laboratory of RNA Chemistry
  • Studies on nonenzynmatic autohydrolysis of oligoribonucleotides
  • Contribution in developing the synthesis of RNA oligonucleotides by phosphoramidite approach on solid support
  • Contribution in developing the thermodynamic basis of RNA folding and prediction of RNA secondary structure
  • Contribution in studies of RNA structure by thermodynamic, NMR and crystallographic approaches,
  • Studies on developing the thermodynamic basis for the construction of isoenergetic microarrays
  • Determination of the nearest neighbor thermodynamic parameters for 2'-O-methylRNA/RNA and chimeric LNA-2'-O-methylRNA/RNA duplexes
  • Chemical synthesis of a library of 853 isoenergetic pentanucleotide probes (from 1024 possible sequences)
  • Developing new types of oligonucleotide microarray (e.g. isoenergetic microarray)
  • Developing a new method to study the structure and interactions of RNA with isoenergetic microarrays (microarray mapping)
