Application of Oligonucleotide Activation to Restriction Endonuclease NarI
Restriction endonuclease NarI cleaves DNA using a two-site mechanism, placing it in the Type IIe class of restriction endonucleases. Although these enzymes have very useful recognition sequences, the two-site mechanism limits the practical application ...

Quantitative approach to facilitated diffusion with intersegmental jumping [PDF]
We study the impact of DNA coiling on the search rate of proteins moving along the DNA contour interspersed by three-dimensional (3D) bulk excursions. When the DNA is coiled proteins performing short 3D hops along a DNA segment can be captured by foreign DNA segments that have looped back close to the original segment.

Analysis of ESR1 mutations in plasma cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) is highly important for the selection of treatment in patients with breast cancer. Using multiplex‐ddPCR and identical blood draws, we investigated whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cfDNA provide similar or complementary information for ESR1 mutations.

Sliding and jumping of single EcoRV restriction enzymes on non-cognate DNA
The restriction endonuclease EcoRV can rapidly locate a short recognition site within long non-cognate DNA using ‘facilitated diffusion’. This process has long been attributed to a sliding mechanism, in which the enzyme first binds to the DNA via ...

Water-mediated correlations in DNA-enzyme interactions [PDF]
In this paper we consider dipole-mediated correlations between DNA and enzymes in the context of their water environment. Such correlations emerge from electric dipole-dipole interactions between aromatic ring structures in DNA and in enzymes. We show that there are matching collective modes between DNA and enzyme dipole fields, and that a dynamic time-

Novel non-specific DNA adenine methyltransferases [PDF]
The mom gene of bacteriophage Mu encodes an enzyme that converts adenine to N6-(1-acetamido)-adenine in the phage DNA and thereby protects the viral genome from cleavage by a wide variety of restriction endonucleases.

Targeted metabolomics reveals novel diagnostic biomarkers for colorectal cancer
This study employed targeted metabolomic profiling to identify 302 distinct metabolites present in platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), revealing aberrant metabolic profiles amongst individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC). Compared to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cancer antigen 19‐9 (CA199), our metabolite panel showed improved sensitivity ...

Terminal Restriction Fragments (TRF) Method to Analyze Telomere Lengths
Chromosome ends - telomeres - are a focus of intensive research due to their importance for the maintenance of chromosome stability. Their shortening due to incomplete replication functions as a molecular clock counting the number of cell divisions, and ...

SUMMARY A series of clinical isolates of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from two hospitals in China was examined. Fragment patterns obtained by digestion of total cellular DNA with restriction enzymes were used to characterize the ...

MITOCHONDRIAL DNA POLYMORPHISMS AND FERTILITY IN BEEF CATTLE [PDF]
Two regions of mitochondrial DNA, D-loop and ND-5 were characterized using polymerase chain reaction – restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) involving 422 beef cattle of Hereford and composite breeds from Wokalup’s ...
