A novel chromatin‐labeling probe is developed to investigate chromatin mobility during differentiation. The silicon rhodamine–conjugated dCTP is efficiently delivered into iPSCs and NSCs using a synthetic transporter. Super‐resolution microscopy and single‐particle tracking show decreased chromatin mobility during differentiation.

Functionalized oligonucleotides, synthetic catalysts as enzyme mimics
This review describes the chemical rationale behind the modification of deoxyribonucleotides, which are later incorporated through an enzymatic or automated supported process, resulting in the synthesis of functionalized oligonucleotides (FuON).

Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) enzyme is composed of the homodimeric RRM1 and RRM2 subunits, which together form a heterotetramic active enzyme that catalyzes the de novo reduction of ribonucleotides to generate deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs), which are ...

Function of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa NrdR Transcription Factor: Global Transcriptomic Analysis and Its Role on Ribonucleotide Reductase Gene Expression. [PDF]
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) are a family of sophisticated enzymes responsible for the synthesis of the deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs), the building blocks for DNA synthesis and repair. Although any living cell must contain one RNR activity to continue

Characterization and Antibody Preparation of the Gene Products of Grouper Iridovirus ORF5L
ABSTRACT Grouper iridovirus (GIV) is a large DNA virus belonging to the family Iridoviridae and genus Ranavirus. It consists of 139,793 base pairs (bp) and 120 open reading frames (ORFs). GIV is a key pathogen of farmed fish worldwide. The functional roles of viral genes must be determined for the early diagnosis, treatment and prevention of viral ...

The influence of natural pulmonary surfactant on the efficacy of siRNA-loaded dextran nanogels [PDF]
Aim: Topical administration of siRNA nanocarriers is a promising approach in the treatment of pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary surfactant, covering the entire alveolar surface of mammalian lungs, will be one of the first interfaces that siRNA nanocarriers ...

Blood gene expression network expression strongly relates to brain amyloid burden
Abstract INTRODUCTION Amyloid deposition occurs decades before symptoms emerge in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We leveraged blood transcriptomics and positron emission tomography (PET) measures of amyloidosis to identify gene networks in the blood that relate to amyloid burden in the brain. METHODS Whole‐blood RNA sequencing and amyloid PET were leveraged
