Determination of nucleic acid sequence homologies and relative concentrations by a dot hybridization procedure. [PDF]
A dot hybridization method is presented for rapidly determining the relative concentrations of nucleic acids in a mixture, as well as the extent of sequence homology between related RNA or DNA species.

Helicase processivity and not the unwinding velocity exhibits universal increase with force [PDF]
Helicases, involved in a number of cellular functions, are motors that translocate along singlestranded nucleic acid and couple the motion to unwinding double-strands of a duplex nucleic acid. The junction between double and single strands creates a barrier to the movement of the helicase, which can be manipulated in vitro by applying mechanical forces

Human liver apolipoprotein B-100 cDNA: complete nucleic acid and derived amino acid sequence.
Human apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100), the ligand on low density lipoproteins that interacts with the low density lipoprotein receptor and initiates receptor-mediated endocytosis and low density lipoprotein catabolism, has been cloned, and the complete ...

Secondary structure formation of homopolymeric single-stranded nucleic acids including force and loop entropy: implications for DNA hybridization [PDF]
Loops are essential secondary structure elements in folded DNA and RNA molecules and proliferate close to the melting transition. Using a theory for nucleic acid secondary structures that accounts for the logarithmic entropy c ln m for a loop of length m, we study homopolymeric single-stranded nucleic acid chains under external force and varying ...
