Abstract | In this work we examined the properties of thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA) modified by the introduction of inversion of polarity sites (IPS) in order to assess the effect of modification on the activation of TBA to serve as DNAzyme with peroxidase-like activity. Two oligonucleotides were designed to possess one (IPS1) or three (IPS2) inversion sites. TBA typically forms antiparallel G-quadruplexes with two G-tetrads, which exhibits very low DNAzyme peroxidise activity. DNAzyme activity is generally attributed to parallel G-quadruplexes. Hence, inversion of polarity was introduced in the TBA molecule to force the change of G-quadruplex topology. All oligonucleotides were characterized using circular dichroism and UV-Vis melting profiles. Next, the activity of the DNAzymes formed by studied oligonucleotides and hemin was investigated. The enhancement of peroxidase activity was observed when inversion of polarity was introduced. DNAzyme based on IPS2 showed the highest peroxidase activity in the presence of K |
