Development of an Interaction Assay between Single-Stranded Nucleic Acids Trapped with Silica Particles and Fluorescent Compounds

open access: yesJournal of Functional Biomaterials, 2012
Biopolymers are easily denatured by heating, a change in pH or chemical substances when they are immobilized on a substrate. To prevent denaturation of biopolymers, we developed a method to trap a polynucleotide on a substrate by hydrogen bonding using ...

Simplified Paper Format for Detecting HIV Drug Resistance in Clinical Specimens by Oligonucleotide Ligation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a chronic infection that can be managed by antiretroviral treatment (ART). However, periods of suboptimal viral suppression during lifelong ART can select for HIV drug resistant (DR) variants.

Emergent Properties and Functions of Nanoconfined Nucleic Acid Architectures

open access: yes, 2015
The facile ability of DNA to self-assemble has enabled the creation of complex architectures with diverse functions on surfaces or in solution. This approach provides a powerful design tool for the development of nanoscale devices with transformative ...

Cold Denaturation of the Hammerhead Ribozyme

open access: yes, 2016
Cold denaturation is a thermodynamic phenomenon resulting from a difference in the heat capacities, ΔCp, of the folded and unfolded states of a macromolecule.

Effects of osmolytes and macromolecular crowders on stable GAAA tetraloops and their preference for a CG closing base pair [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Osmolytes and macromolecular crowders have the potential to influence the stability of secondary structure motifs and alter preferences for conserved nucleic acid sequences in vivo.

Accurate quantification of nucleic acids using hypochromicity measurements in conjunction with UV spectrophotometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
UV absorbance spectrophotometry is widely used for the quantification of nucleic acids. For accurate quantification it is important to determine the hypochromocity of the oligonucleotide or complex nucleic acid structure.

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.
