Continuously tunable nucleic acid hybridization probes. [PDF]

open access: greenNat Methods, 2015
In silico-designed nucleic acid probes and primers often do not achieve favorable specificity and sensitivity tradeoffs on the first try, and iterative empirical sequence-based optimization is needed, particularly in multiplexed assays. We present a novel, on-the-fly method of tuning probe affinity and selectivity by adjusting the stoichiometry of ...

Colorimetric Detection of Ehrlichia Canis via Nucleic Acid Hybridization in Gold Nano-Colloids [PDF]

open access: goldSensors, 2014
Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is a major thick-bone disease of dog caused by Ehrlichia canis. Detection of this causal agent outside the laboratory using conventional methods is not effective enough. Thus an assay for E.

Optimizing the specificity of nucleic acid hybridization. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Chem, 2012
The specific hybridization of complementary sequences is an essential property of nucleic acids, enabling diverse biological and biotechnological reactions and functions. However, the specificity of nucleic acid hybridization is compromised for long strands, except near the melting temperature. Here, we analytically derived the thermodynamic properties

Topological constraints in nucleic acid hybridization kinetics [PDF]

open access: goldNucleic Acids Research, 2005
A theoretical examination of kinetic mechanisms for forming knots and links in nucleic acid structures suggests that molecules involving base pairs between loops are likely to become topologically trapped in persistent frustrated states through the mechanism of 'helix-driven wrapping'. Augmentation of the state space to include both secondary structure

Cisplatin-Digoxigenin mRNA Labeling for Nonradioactive Detection of mRNA Hybridized onto Nucleic Acid cDNA Arrays

open access: goldBioTechniques, 1999
We optimized a novel nonradioactive hybridization technique using a cis-platin coupled digoxigenin derivative for direct labeling of mRNA. This new mRNA reporter molecule was applied to cDNA membrane arrays to simultaneously identify expression of ...

Fast and non-toxic in situ hybridization without blocking of repetitive sequences. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
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,

Developing predictive hybridization models for phosphorothioate oligonucleotides using high-resolution melting.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
The ability to predict nucleic acid hybridization energies has been greatly enabling for many applications, but predictive models require painstaking experimentation, which may limit expansion to non-natural nucleic acid analogues and chemistries.

Application of Graphene FET Nucleic Acid Biosensor in Human Motion Measurement [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal Bioautomation, 2018
In order to explore the application of graphene field effect transistor (FET) nucleic acid biosensor, the sensitivity and selectivity of nano FET biosensor detection are improved by the large physical surface ratio, high electron mobility, excellent ...
