A continuous isotropic-nematic liquid crystalline transition of F-actin solutions

, 2002
The phase transition from the isotropic (I) to nematic (N) liquid crystalline suspension of F-actin of average length $3~\mu$m or above was studied by local measurements of optical birefringence and protein concentration. Both parameters were detected to

Synthetic Cells on Demand: From Molecular Stimuli to Cellular Functions

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Synthetic cells constructed via bottom‐up approaches using lipid or polymer vesicles have become essential tools for mimicking cellular functions and studying synthetic biological systems. These vesicles can undergo morphological changes and trigger internal reactions in response to external stimuli, such as osmotic pressure, temperature, pH ...

Ultra-bright Photoactivatable Fluorophores Created by Reductive Caging [PDF]

, 2014
Sub-diffraction-limit imaging can be achieved by sequential localization of photoactivatable fluorophores, where the image resolution depends on the number of photons detected per localization.

Anti-vaccinia virus effect of M13 bacteriophage DNA

Antiviral Research, 1996
Single-stranded DNA derived from M13 phage was evaluated for antiviral activity in mice infected with vaccinia virus. M13 DNA at a dose as low as 16.7 mg/kg was effective in reducing the number of tail lesions caused by vaccinia virus by more than 90%. A single administration of M13 DNA 1 day before infection was sufficient to reduce significantly the ...

Crosstalk Between Intratumoral Microbes and Tumor Immunity: Implications for Tumor Therapy

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Emerging studies indicate that microbes are present in tumor cells and immune cells. Intratumoral microbiota (ITM) constitute an important component of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and have an important impact on tumor progression and treatment. Objective Through the general elaboration of ITM represented by bacteria and

Bacterial Expression of Gene‐Encoding DNA Origami Structures

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Bacterial targeting via programmable DNA origami, varying in rigidity and compactness is unexplored. In transformation assays, origami reduces transformation efficiency compared to single‐stranded scaffolds. Structural features and surface modifications, however, improve transformation outcomes.

Impact of macromolecular crowding on DNA replication [PDF]

, 2014
Enzymatic activities in vivo occur in a crowded environment composed of many macromolecules. This environment influences DNA replication by increasing the concentration of the constituents, desolvation, decreasing the degrees of freedom for diffusion and

Nicking Activity of M13 Bacteriophage Protein 2

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Gene II Protein (Gp2/P2) is a nicking enzyme of the M13 bacteriophage that plays a role in the DNA replication of the viral genome. P2 recognizes a specific sequence at the f1 replication origin and nicks one of the strands and starts replication. This study was conducted to address the limitations of previous experiments, improve methodologies, and ...
