Complementary recognition in condensed DNA: Accelerated DNA renaturation [PDF]
The functional consequences of DNA condensation are investigated. The recognition of complementary strands is profoundly modified by this critical phenomenon. (1) Condensation of denatured DNA greatly accelerates the kinetics of DNA renaturation. We propose a unifying explanation for the effects of several accelerating solvents studied here including ...

Conventionally, in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR), oligonucleotide primers bind to the template DNA in an antiparallel complementary way and the template DNA is amplified as it is.

The tetrameric tumor suppressor p53 represents a great challenge for 3D-structural analysis due to its high degree of intrinsic disorder (ca. 40%). We aim to shed light on the structural and functional roles of p53’s C-terminal region in full-length ...

Efficiency of peptide nucleic acid-directed PCR clamping and its application in the investigation of natural diets of the Japanese eel leptocephali. [PDF]
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-clamping using blocking primer and DNA-analogs, such as peptide nucleotide acid (PNA), may be used to selectively amplify target DNA for molecular diet analysis.

Complementary-DNA-Strand Cross-Linked Polyacrylamide Hydrogels
We examine networks of complementary-DNA-strand cross-linked polyacrylamide, with and without covalent N,N′-methylene(bis)acrylamide cross-linking, using rheological time–temperature superposition (TTS) to ascertain how temperature and composition ...

Background: The structural and conformational variety in nucleic acid complexes is largely controlled by the sugar-phosphate backbone. In order to modulate specific features such as strength or selectivity of complex formation by designing nucleotide ...

RNA-programmed genome editing in human cells
Type II CRISPR immune systems in bacteria use a dual RNA-guided DNA endonuclease, Cas9, to cleave foreign DNA at specific sites. We show here that Cas9 assembles with hybrid guide RNAs in human cells and can induce the formation of double-strand DNA ...

Watson−Crick Base-Pairing Properties of Tricyclo-DNA
Tricyclo-DNA belongs to the family of conformationally restricted oligodeoxynucleotide analogues. It differs structurally from DNA by an additional ethylene bridge between the centers C(3‘) and C(5‘) of the nucleosides, to which a cyclopropane unit is ...
