The primary mechanism by which antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) function is that ASOs bind to mRNA to prevent protein translation. They work by hybridizing to specific mRNA sequences, which leads to modulation of gene expression by blocking translation or promoting degradation of the target mRNA.
What is the primary mechanism by which antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) function?
ASOs bind to DNA to initiate replication.
