Effect of asymmetric terminal structures of short RNA duplexes on the RNA interference activity and strand selection

Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are valuable reagents for sequence-specific inhibition of gene expression via the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. Although it has been proposed that the relative thermodynamic stability at the 5′-ends of siRNAs plays a crucial role in siRNA strand selection, we demon...
