Self-assembling DNA-caged particles: nanoblocks for hierarchical self-assembly [PDF]
, 2008 DNA is an ideal candidate to organize matter on the nanoscale, primarily due to the specificity and complexity of DNA based interactions. Recent advances in this direction include the self-assembly of colloidal crystals using DNA grafted particles. In this article we theoretically study the self-assembly of DNA-caged particles. These nanoblocks combine

Unexpected transformation of dissolved phenols to toxic dicarbonyls by hydroxyl radicals and UV light. [PDF]
, 2018 Water treatment systems frequently use strong oxidants or UV light to degrade chemicals that pose human health risks. Unfortunately, these treatments can result in the unintended transformation of organic contaminants into toxic products.

Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2010 Smoke constituents can induce DNA adducts that cause mutations and lead to lung cancer. We have analyzed DNA adducts and polymorphisms in two DNA repair genes, for example, XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln genes and XRCC3 Thr241Met gene, in 34 lung cancer ...

Capacity of DNA Data Embedding Under Substitution Mutations [PDF]
, 2011 A number of methods have been proposed over the last decade for encoding information using deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), giving rise to the emerging area of DNA data embedding. Since a DNA sequence is conceptually equivalent to a sequence of quaternary symbols (bases), DNA data embedding (diversely called DNA watermarking or DNA steganography) can be ...

Adaptive Response Enzyme AlkB Preferentially Repairs 1-Methylguanine and 3-Methylthymine Adducts in Double-Stranded DNA [PDF]
, 2018 The AlkB protein is a repair enzyme that uses an α-ketoglutarate/Fe(II)-dependent mechanism to repair alkyl DNA adducts. AlkB has been reported to repair highly susceptible substrates, such as 1-methyladenine and 3-methylcytosine, more efficiently in ss ...

DNA Adducts with Lipid Peroxidation Products [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2008 Homolytic decomposition of PUFA2-derived lipid hydroperoxides results in formation of the α,β-unsaturated aldehydic bifunctional electrophiles DDE, EDE, HNE, HPNE, MDA (shown as β-hydroxyacrolein), ONE, DODE, and 5,8-dioxo-(10E)-octenoic acid (see Fig. 1) (1–3).

Study on the Electronic Structure and Stability of Some Endohedral Fullerenes - RE3N@C80 (RE = Sc, Y, La) by PM7 [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 In this paper, we investigated the electronic structure of some endohedral fullerenes containing rare earth nitride and the stability of their benzyne-adducts by PM7, the semiempirical Hatree-Fock method.
