Figure 8. The general model of the secondary structure of D- or L-DNAzyme in the homo- or heterochiral complex with target D-or L-RNA.

Figure 8

The arrow shows the anticipated cleavage site. We propose that the interactions between the mirror-image DNAzyme and the D-RNA substrate in the heterochiral complex are Watson-Crick type base pairs in which ribose rings of one strand occur in a rotated orientation (see Figs 12 and also in the Supplementary Figures S1 and S2 and discussion).
