Oligohistidine‐Functionalized Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotube‐Guided RNA Delivery to Improve Shoot Regeneration Efficiency in Plant Calli

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The pH‐sensitive His6‐SWNTs, which is functionalized with oligohistidine, can deliver STTM396 molecules into callus cells. The STTM396–SWNT complex treatments enhance shoot regeneration efficiency by regulating the miR396‐GRF module in Arabidopsis and tomato calli.

PCR-Independent Detection of Bacterial Species-Specific 16S rRNA at 10 fM by a Pore-Blockage Sensor

Biosensors, 2016
A PCR-free, optics-free device is used for the detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli) 16S rRNA at 10 fM, which corresponds to ~100–1000 colony forming units/mL (CFU/mL) depending on cellular rRNA levels.

Identification of the prebiotic translation apparatus within the contemporary ribosome [PDF]

, 2009
A structural element that could have existed independently in the prebiotic era was identified at the active site of the contemporary ribosome. It is suggested to have functioned as a proto-ribosome catalyzing peptide bond formation and non-coded ...

Peptide nucleic acid stabilized perovskite nanoparticles for nucleic acid sensing

Materials Today Chemistry, 2020
Abstract Nanostructural hybrid organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites offer a wide range of potential applications including photovoltaics, solar cells, and light emitting diodes. Up to now the surface stabilizing ligands were used solely to obtain the optimal properties of nanoparticles in terms of dimensionality and stability, however their ...

A Peptide Nucleic Acid‐Functionalized Heterojunction Thin Film Transistor as a Scalable and Reusable Platform for Label‐Free Detection of MicroRNA

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A miniaturized, label‐free, and enzyme‐free biosensor (miR‐TFT) enables direct electrical detection of microRNA (miRNA) with single‐nucleotide specificity and a detection limit of 0.6 fM. Built on a tri‐channel In2O3/ZnO heterojunction and functionalized with bespoke peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes, the device is robust, reusable, and compatible with

Convenient and Scalable Synthesis of Fmoc-Protected Peptide Nucleic Acid Backbone

Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2012
The peptide nucleic acid backbone Fmoc-AEG-OBn has been synthesized via a scalable and cost-effective route. Ethylenediamine is mono-Boc protected, then alkylated with benzyl bromoacetate. The Boc group is removed and replaced with an Fmoc group.
