Mini‐Hairpin DNA: Extraordinarily Stable Structure and Its Applications
Mini‐hairpin DNA fragments containing GCGAAGC and GCGAAAGC form exceptionally stable hairpin‐like structures, with only two G−C pairs and one sheared G−A pair, remaining undenatured in 7 M urea and resisting nuclease digestion. These mini‐hairpin sequences frequently appear in replication and transcription origins, influence DNA sequencing fidelity ...

A Bifunctional Small Molecule Degrader of the Long Noncoding RNA MALAT1 Triplex
Targeting disease‐linked RNAs with small molecules is often limited by the modest impact of binding RNA structure alone. Here, we present a first‐in‐class bifunctional molecule that degrades the oncogenic lncRNA MALAT‐1 by inducing proximity between the RNA and a cleaving warhead.

Chemical Ligation of Backbone N‐hydroxylated Peptides
Peptide backbone N‐hydroxylation enables sequence‐agnostic fragment ligation via hydroxamate O‐acyl capture and O→N acyl transfer in water. Broad tolerance of sterically demanding nucleophilic residues is observed, and reductive N─O cleavage restores the native amide bond.

Post‐LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor
ABSTRACT Dyneins were present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) and play key roles in eukaryotic biology. Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer arms that power ciliary beating, and it has long been recognized that outer arms in some organisms contain two different heavy chain motors, whereas those from other species contain a third unit
