Abstract
We investigated the binding and the translation inhibitory properties of hexadecamers complementary to the mini-exon sequence of the protozoan parasite Leishmania amazonensis. This targeted RNA region folds into a hairpin. Large differences were observed in the antisense properties of the different oligomers although their binding to RNA always requires the disruption of the stem region.
