Locked nucleic acid: tighter is different [PDF]
This viewpoint briefly reviews the impact of Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) oligonucleotides, first described in a ChemComm paper in 1998. A number of unique applications in oligonucleotide biotechnology have been made possible by the high binding affinity ...

Genetic Code Expansion and Bio-Orthogonal Labeling Reveal Intact HIV-1 Capsids inside the Nucleus
Microscopy is one of the few techniques that can directly observe the HIV-1 capsid as it traverses the cell. However, an extrinsic or intrinsic label is needed to facilitate detection and this can perturb capsid behavior. Now, S. Schifferdecker, V. Zila,
