Robustness and modularity properties of a non-covalent DNA catalytic reaction [PDF]
The biophysics of nucleic acid hybridization and strand displacement have been used for the rational design of a number of nanoscale structures and functions. Recently, molecular amplification methods have been developed in the form of non-covalent DNA

HiTRACE: High-throughput robust analysis for capillary electrophoresis [PDF]
Motivation: Capillary electrophoresis (CE) of nucleic acids is a workhorse technology underlying high-throughput genome analysis and large-scale chemical mapping for nucleic acid structural inference. Despite the wide availability of CE-based instruments,

The origins and physical roots of life’s dual – metabolic and genetic – nature [PDF]
This review paper aims at a better understanding of the origin and physical foundation of life’s dual – metabolic and genetic – nature. First, I give a concise ‘top-down’ survey of the origin of life, i.e., backwards in time from extant DNA/RNA/protein ...

Studying epigenetic interactions using MicroScale Thermophoresis (MST)
Epigenetic regulation is based on specific molecular interactions between epigenetic reader, writer and eraser molecules and chromatin. Binding parameters of these interactions such as binding affinities, stoichiometries and thermodynamics are essential ...

Stimuli-Responsive Chemical Systems That Mimic Biological Dynamics. [PDF]
Chemists are designing synthetic systems that mimic life's dynamic behaviors, such as motion, sensing, adaptation, and compartmentalization, by integrating reaction networks with stimuli like light, pH, and chemical fuels. This mini‐review surveys molecular machines, responsive materials, nucleic acid networks, and artificial cells, highlighting how ...

Direct comparison of nick-joining activity of the nucleic acid ligases from bacteriophage T4 [PDF]
The genome of bacteriophage T4 encodes three polynucleotide ligases, which seal the backbone of nucleic acids during infection of host bacteria. The T4Dnl (T4 DNA ligase) and two RNA ligases [T4Rnl1 (T4 RNA ligase 1) and T4Rnl2] join a diverse array of ...
