CD Formulation has been specializing in nucleic acid drug formulation development for many years. The goal of our nucleic acid drug sequence design platform is to provide you with high-quality nucleic acid drug development services, from sequence design and analysis to molecular modeling.
Nucleic acid drug development often requires extensive sequence design and optimization work, which poses a serious challenge to research and development (R&D) efficiency. To address this challenge, we have created a specialized nucleic acid sequence design platform that leverages advanced computational biology and artificial intelligence technologies to significantly enhance the efficiency and success rate of nucleic acid drug development.

First, identify the specific gene or sequence to be targeted and obtain the target gene sequence from the gene database.
Functional annotation involves using bioinformatics tools to identify the functional region of the gene and predict its structure.
Design appropriate oligonucleotide sequences according to specific applications (e.g. ASO, siRNA, miRNA, etc.) and predict the secondary structure using software tools to ensure that the designed sequence will not form unfavorable secondary structures.
Verify the specificity and efficacy of the sequence in cells or tissues, predict the binding efficiency of the sequence to the target using molecular dynamics simulation tools.
Biocompatibility testing and immunogenicity testing are conducted for toxicity assessment.
Select modifications and optimization strategies to enhance sequence stability and resistance to degradation according to the specific application.
Generation of designed nucleic acid sequences through chemical synthesis methods, as well as ensuring product quality through techniques like high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
CD Formulation's nucleic acid design platform employs advanced algorithms and bioinformatics tools to accurately identify and optimize nucleic acid sequences tailored to specific therapeutic requirements.

Results:
The authors describe a framework for designing multinucleic acid chain sequences that are intended to hybridize in solution via a prescribed reaction pathway. Sequence design is formulated as a multi-state optimization problem using a set of target test tubes to represent the reactant, intermediate, and product states of the system and to simulate crosstalk between the components. Each target test tube contains a set of desired "on-target" complexes, each with a target secondary structure and a target concentration, and a set of unwanted "off-target" complexes, each of which vanishes at the target concentration. Optimization of the equilibrium combinatorial properties of the target test tubes implements both a positive design mode, explicitly designing the essential steps on the pathway, and a negative design mode, explicitly designing the steps to prevent off-pathway crosstalk. Sequence design proceeds according to a variety of user-specified sequence constraints, including compositional constraints, complementary constraints, pattern prevention constraints, and biological constraints. Constrained polymorphic sequence design facilitates nucleic acid reaction pathway engineering for various applications in molecular programming and synthetic biology.
