Forster resonance energy transfer for studying nucleic acids denaturation: A chemical and biological sciences laboratory experiment [PDF]
AbstractThe Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) melting assay intends to evaluate the unfolding, denaturation process of DNA secondary structures, and its stabilization using compounds known as DNA binders, some of which are highly specific for G‐quadruplex DNAs versus duplex DNAs.

Nucleic acid denaturation at an electrode surface
This thesis describes the development and improvement of an assay for the detection and discrimination of DNA sequences based on surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and electrochemically driven denaturation. A DNA helix can be immobilised at a nano-structured gold electrode and then denatured into its constituent components by driving the ...

Fast and non-toxic in situ hybridization without blocking of repetitive sequences. [PDF]
Formamide is the preferred solvent to lower the melting point and annealing temperature of nucleic acid strands in in situ hybridization (ISH). A key benefit of formamide is better preservation of morphology due to a lower incubation temperature. However,
