Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

Rational Design of pH-Controlled DNA Strand Displacement [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2014
Achieving strategies to finely regulate with biological inputs the formation and functionality of DNA-based nanoarchitectures and nanomachines is essential toward a full realization of the potential of DNA nanotechnology. Here we demonstrate an unprecedented, rational approach to achieve control, through a simple change of the solution's pH, over an ...

DNA logic gate based on metallo-toehold strand displacement.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
DNA is increasingly being used as an ideal material for the construction of nanoscale structures, circuits, and machines. Toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement reactions play a very important role in these enzyme-free constructions. In this study, the

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Mechanism of strand displacement DNA synthesis by the coordinated activities of human mitochondrial DNA polymerase and SSB [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Many replicative DNA polymerases couple DNA replication and unwinding activities to perform strand displacement DNA synthesis, a critical ability for DNA metabolism.

Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.

Information-based autonomous reconfiguration in systems of interacting DNA nanostructures

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Strand displacement is commonly used in DNA nanotechnology to program dynamic interactions between individual DNA strands. Here, the authors describe a tile displacement principle that is similar in concept but occurs on a larger structural level: the ...

Replication slippage of the thermophilic DNA polymerases B and D from the Euryarchaeota Pyrococcus abyssi

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Replication slippage or slipped-strand mispairing involves the misalignment of DNA strands during the replication of repeated DNA sequences, and can lead to genetic rearrangements such as microsatellite instability.

Circular DNA Logic Gates with Strand Displacement

open access: yes, 2016
Circular DNA logic gates were constructed on the basis of DNA three-way branch migration. In this logic system, circular DNA was used as a basic work unit and linear single-strand DNA was used as input and output signals.
