Photoinitiator Nucleotide for Quantifying Nucleic Acid Hybridization [PDF]
This first report of a photoinitiator-nucleotide conjugate demonstrates a novel approach for sensitive, rapid and visual detection of DNA hybridization events. This approach holds potential for various DNA labeling schemes and for applications benefiting from selective DNA-based polymerization initiators.

Nucleic acid - protein fingerprints. Novel protein classification based on nucleic acid - protein recognition [PDF]
Protein chemistry uses protein description and classification based on molecular mass and isoelectric point as general features. Enzymes are also compared by enzymatic reaction constants, namely Km and kcat values. Proteins are also studied by binding to

A novel cassette method for probe evaluation in the designed biochips [PDF]
A critical step in biochip design is the selection of probes with identical hybridisation characteristics. In this article we describe a novel method for evaluating DNA hybridisation probes, allowing the fine-tuning of biochips, that uses cassettes with ...

Towards combining backbone and sugar constraint in 3-3 bis-phosphonate tethered 2-4 bridged LNA oligonucleotide trimers. [PDF]
Therapeutic oligonucleotides are chemically modified to enhance their drug-like properties - including binding affinity for target RNA. Many nucleic acid analogs that enhance RNA binding affinity constrain the furanose sugar in an RNA-like sugar pucker ...
