DNA has not been played the role as a biocatalyst in evolutionary history, although RNA and protein function as a biocatalyst. DNA double helix structure is believed to be impossible to form intricate active enzymatic sites. In addition, the chemical stability of DNA prevents the ability from self-modifying reactions. However, recent development of DNA engineering enables to create artificial enzymatic ability of DNA (deoxyribozyme) such as RNA cleavage and DNA modification. We investigated optimal conditions for enzymatic activity of DNA-Pt complex, and compared it with that of horse radish peroxidase. We report here that base sequence of DNA, pH and temperature affect the enzymatic activity of DNA-Pt complex.
