Abstract:

In this work we present a mathematical approach to model the kinetic behavior of DNA enzymes (DNAzymes) in order to predict their activity, which will assist future sequence designs. The model has been designed based on multiple previous reports since no general reaction mechanism has been fully described for DNAzymes to date. To better understand this, we also present first of its kind study of the DNAzyme catalytic reaction at the single molecule (SM) level.
