FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Venom peptides have shown promise in treating pain. Our study uses computer screening to identify a peptide that targets a sodium channel (NaV1.7) linked to chronic pain. We produced the peptide in the laboratory and refined its design, advancing the search for innovative pain therapies.

Simulations Meet Experiment to Reveal New Insights into DNA Intrinsic Mechanics.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 The accurate prediction of the structure and dynamics of DNA remains a major challenge in computational biology due to the dearth of precise experimental information on DNA free in solution and limitations in the DNA force-fields underpinning the ...

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.

Plasmid-based lacZalpha assay for DNA polymerase fidelity: application to archaeal family-B DNA polymerase [PDF]
, 2009 The preparation of a gapped pUC18 derivative, containing the lacZalpha reporter gene in the single-stranded region, is described. Gapping is achieved by flanking the lacZalpha gene with sites for two related nicking endonucleases, enabling the excision ...

Non-homologous DNA end joining in normal and cancer cells and its dependence on break structures
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2010 DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are a serious threat to the cell, for if not or miss-repaired, they can lead to chromosomal aberration, mutation and cancer.

Experimental validation of determinants of UV sensitivity using synthetic DNA
Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2022 Treatment with ultraviolet (UV) light has been shown to be effective for disinfection of pathogens. For pathogenic risk management, it would be effective to estimate the UV sensitivity of unknown pathogenic microorganisms from their nucleotide sequences.

miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.

The process of infection with bacteriophage phiX174, XXX. Replication of double-stranded phiX DNA [PDF]
, 1969 Intermediates involved in the replication of double-stranded phiX174 RF DNA have been identified and partially characterized. Analysis of pulse-labeled RF DNA suggests that the synthesis of progeny RF molecules involves, in part, the addition of ...

Bubble propagation in a helicoidal molecular chain
, 2000 We study the propagation of very large amplitude localized excitations in a model of DNA that takes explicitly into account the helicoidal structure. These excitations represent the ``transcription bubble'', where the hydrogen bonds between complementary

Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research, 2016 We have developed a novel gene detection method based on the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) reaction and the DNA dissociation reaction on the same DNA chip surface to achieve a lower detection limit, broader dynamic range and faster ...
