Ultrashort Peptide Self-Assembly: Front-Runners to Transport Drug and Gene Cargos
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 The translational therapies to promote interaction between cell and signal come with stringent eligibility criteria. The chemically defined, hierarchically organized, and simpler yet blessed with robust intermolecular association, the peptides, are ...

Mechanistic Insight into Oxidative Stress-Triggered Signaling Pathways and Type 2 Diabetes
Molecules, 2022 Oxidative stress (OS) is a metabolic dysfunction mediated by the imbalance between the biochemical processes leading to elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidant defense system of the body.

Molecular Dynamics Analysis of Biomolecular Systems Including Nucleic Acids [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Along with recent progress in structural biology and genome biology, structural dynamics of molecular systems including nucleic acids has attracted attention in the context of gene regulation. Structure-function relationship is an important topic, where physicochemical properties of nucleotides are important as well as those of amino acids in proteins.

Nanosecond chain dynamics of single-stranded nucleic acids [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The conformational dynamics of single-stranded nucleic acids are fundamental for nucleic acid folding and function. However, their elementary chain dynamics have been difficult to resolve experimentally. Here we employ a combination of single-molecule F\"orster resonance energy transfer, nanosecond fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, fluorescence ...

The Nucleic Acid Database: A Resource for Nucleic Acid Science [PDF]
Acta Crystallographica Section D Biological Crystallography, 1998 The Nucleic Acid Database (NDB) distributes information about nucleic acid-containing structures. Here the information content of the database as well as the query capabilities are described. A summary of how the technology developed by this project has been used to develop other macromolecular databases is given.

Origin of Information Encoding in Nucleic Acids through a Dissipation-Replication Relation [PDF]
Entropy 2020, 22(9), 940, 2018 Ultraviolet light incident on organic material can initiate its spontaneous dissipative structuring into chromophores which can then catalyze their own replication. This may have been the case for one of the most ancient of all chromophores dissipating the Archean UVC photon flux, the nucleic acids.

Irisin Is Related to Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Biomedicines, 2022 Irisin is a cytokine involved in many metabolic pathways occurring, among others, in muscles, adipose tissue and liver. Thus, fluctuations in irisin levels are suggested to be related to metabolic diseases.

Absolute quantification of real-time PCR data with stage signal difference analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Real-time PCR, or Real-time Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is an effective approach to quantify nucleic acid samples. Given the complicated reaction system along with thermal cycles, there has been long-term confusion on accurately calculating the initial nucleic acid amounts from the fluorescence signals.

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2014 Since the discovery of the structure of the DNA double helix in 1953 by Watson and Crick [1], we know that DNA is of critical importance, carrying the genetic information for all living organisms. Only a few years later appeared the first reports on the chemical synthesis of oligonucleotides with a natural 3'-5' phosphodiester linker by Michelsen and ...
