A Widely Applicable Urea-based Fluorescent/Colorimetric mRNA in situ Hybridization Protocol
In situ hybridization methods are routinely employed to detect nucleic acid sequences, allowing to localize gene expression or to study chromosomal organization in their native context. These methods rely on the pairwise binding of a labeled probe to the

Structure, kinetic characterization and subcellular localization of the two ribulose 5-phosphate epimerase isoenzymes from Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]
The enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) ribulose-5-phosphate-epimerase (RPE) is encoded by two genes present in the genome of Trypanosoma cruzi CL Brener clone: TcRPE1 and TcRPE2. Despite high sequence similarity at the amino acid residue level,

Rubredoxin Variant Folds without Iron [PDF]
Pyroccocus furiosus rubredoxin (PFRD), like most studied hyperthermophilic proteins, does not undergo reversible folding. The irreversibility of folding is thought to involve PFRD’s iron-binding site.

Synthesis and Evaluation of Artificial Nucleic Acid Bearing an Oxanorbornane Scaffold
Natural oligonucleotides have many rotatable single bonds, and thus their structures are inherently flexible. Structural flexibility leads to an entropic loss when unwound oligonucleotides form a duplex with single-stranded DNA or RNA.

An improved nucleic acid sequence-based amplification method mediated by T4 gene 32 protein.
The uptake of Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification (NASBA) for point of care testing may be hindered by a complexity in the workflow due the requirement of a thermal denaturation step to initiate the cyclic isothermal amplification before the ...

Measurement of Epstein-Barr virus DNA load using a novel quantification standard containing two EBV DNA targets and SYBR Green I dye [PDF]
BACKGROUND Reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection may cause serious, life-threatening complications in immunocompromised individuals. EBV DNA is often detected in EBV-associated disease states, with viral load believed to be a reflection of ...
