Quantification bias caused by plasmid DNA conformation in quantitative real-time PCR assay. [PDF]
Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is the gold standard for the quantification of specific nucleic acid sequences. However, a serious concern has been revealed in a recent report: supercoiled plasmid standards cause significant over-estimation in qPCR ...

Protein-DNA interactions: statistical analysis of interatomic contacts in major and minor grooves
The interactions between protein and DNA in essence underlie all processes in a living cell. Understanding the principles of specific recognition of DNA sites will open the way to understand how these processes are controlled and to interfere in their ...

Microgels and apparatus for PAGE of nucleic acids in one or two dimensions
We describe a system for horizontal 1D or 2D PAGE comprising an apparatus and microgels. There is no buffer outside the gel, making handling and sample loading easy.

T7 RNA polymerase functions in vitro without clustering. [PDF]
Many nucleic acid polymerases function in clusters known as factories. We investigate whether the RNA polymerase (RNAP) of phage T7 also clusters when active.

First High-Resolution Crystal Structures of DNA:2′-O-Methyl-RNA Heteroduplexes
Heteroduplexes composed of all-DNA and all-2′-OMe RNA strands do not occur in nature, but they have found application in the development of molecular beacons and could also be used as aptamers or elements of nucleic acid-based nanostructures that will ...

Use of Nucleic Acid Analogs for the Study of Nucleic Acid Interactions
Unnatural nucleosides have been explored to expand the properties and the applications of oligonucleotides. This paper briefly summarizes nucleic acid analogs in which the base is modified or replaced by an unnatural stacking group for the study of ...
