An improved method for surface immobilisation of RNA: application to small Non-Coding RNA - mRNA pairing [PDF]
Characterisation of RNA and its intermolecular interactions is increasing in importance as the inventory of known RNA functions continues to expand. RNA-RNA interactions are central to post-transcriptional gene regulation mechanisms in bacteria, and the ...

A nucleotide‐independent, pan‐RAS‐targeted DARPin elicits anti‐tumor activity in a multimodal manner
We report a Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein that binds and inhibits RAS proteins, which serve as central cell signaling hubs and are essential for the progression of many cancers. Its unique feature is that it does not discriminate between different RAS isoforms or mutations and is capable of binding to RAS in both its active (GTP‐bound) and inactive ...

Antibodies to biotin enable large-scale detection of biotinylation sites on proteins
Although purification of biotinylated molecules is highly efficient, identifying specific sites of biotinylation remains challenging. We show that anti-biotin antibodies enable unprecedented enrichment of biotinylated peptides from complex peptide ...

Development and Evaluation of an Anti-Biotin Interference Method in Biotin-Streptavidin Immunoassays
The strong non-covalent interaction between biotin and streptavidin places streptavidin-based assays, used by many laboratories, at an increased risk of interference by biotin.

Magnetic Nanoparticle Relaxation Dynamics-based Magnetic Particle Spectroscopy (MPS) for Rapid and Wash-free Molecular Sensing [PDF]
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been extensively used as contrasts and tracers for bioimaging, heating sources for tumor therapy, carriers for controlled drug delivery, and labels for magnetic immunoassays. Here, we describe a MNP relaxation dynamics-based magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS) method for the quantitative detection of molecular ...

Molecular cytotaxonomy of primates by chromosomal in situ suppression hybridization [PDF]
A new strategy for analyzing chromosomal evolution in primates is presented using chromosomal in situ suppression (CISS) hybridization. Biotin-labeled DNA libraries from flow-sorted human chromosomes are hybridized to chromosome preparations of ...

Human cytomegalovirus infection is common in normal prostate epithelium, prostate tumor tissue, and prostate cancer cell lines. CMV promotes cell survival, proliferation, and androgen receptor signaling. Anti‐CMV pharmaceutical compounds in clinical use inhibited cell expansion in prostate cancer models in vitro and in vivo, motivating investigation ...

On-chip label-free biosensing based on active whispering gallery mode resonators pumped by a light-emitting diode [PDF]
Biosensing based on whispering-gallery mode (WGM) resonators has been continuously studied with great attention due to its excellent sensitivity guaranteeing the label-free detection. However, its practical impact is insignificant to date despite notable achievements in academic research.
