Can entropy save bacteria? [PDF]
Suckjoon Jun and Andrew Wright, Nature Reviews Microbiology,
August issue (2010), 2008 This article presents a physical biology approach to understanding organization and segregation of bacterial chromosomes. The author uses a "piston" analogy for bacterial chromosomes in a cell, which leads to a phase diagram for the organization of two athermal chains confined in a closed geometry characterized by two length scales (length and width ...

Effect of intense, ultrashort laser pulses on DNA plasmids in their native state: strand breakages induced by {\it in-situ} electrons [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 Single strand breaks are induced in DNA plasmids, pBR322 and pUC19, in aqueous media by intense ultrashort laser pulses (820 nm wavelength, 45 fs pulse duration, 1 kHz repetition rate) at intensities of 1-12 TW cm$^{-2}$. The intense laser radiation generates, {\it in situ}, electrons that induce transformation of supercoiled DNA into relaxed DNA.

Regulating Protein Immobilization During Cell‐Free Protein Synthesis in Hyaluronan Microgels
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.Bifunctional microgels carrying a linear DNA template and Ni2+‐activated NTA moieties are used as platform for cell‐free protein synthesis and in situ protein immobilization. By varying the concentration of NTA moieties in the microgels, the amount of GFP‐His immobilized inside the microgel and released to the microgel environment can be regulated ...

Fast Antibiotic resistance-Based gene editing of mammalian cells with CRISPR-Cas9 (FAB-CRISPR) [PDF]
arXivProtein tagging with CRISPR-Cas9 enables the investigation of protein function in its native environment but is limited by low homology-directed repair (HDR) efficiency causing low knock-in rates. We present a detailed pipeline using HDR donor plasmids containing antibiotic resistance cassettes for rapid selection of gene-edited cells.
