Scientists develop gene silencing DNA enzyme that can target a single molecule

Researchers have developed a DNA enzyme — or DNAzyme — that can distinguish between two RNA strands inside a cell and cut the disease-associated strand while leaving the healthy strand intact. This breakthrough ‘gene silencing’ technology could revolutionize the development of DNAzymes for treating cancer, infectious diseases and neurological disorders.
