Abstract

We report the synthesis and characterization of polyvalent RNA-gold nanoparticle conjugates (RNA-Au NPs), nanoparticles that are densely functionalized with synthetic RNA oligonucleotides and designed to function in the RNAi pathway. The particles were rationally designed and synthesized to be free of degrading enzymes, have a high surface loading of siRNA duplexes, and contain an auxiliary passivating agent for increased stability in biological media. The resultant conjugates have a half-life six times longer than that of free dsRNA, readily enter cells without the use of transfection agents, and demonstrate a high gene knockdown capability in a cell model.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
