Enhancement in RNase H activity of a DNA/RNA hybrid duplex using artificial cationic oligopeptides.

This study assessed the effects of artificial cationic oligopeptides on a DNA/RNA hybrid duplex. An oligopeptide containing the octamer of l-2,4-diaminobutyric acid (Dab8) was found to enhance both the RNase A resistance and RNase H activity of the DNA/RNA hybrid, which are important for developing nucleic acid drugs.
