High‐Yield Separation of Extracellular Vesicles Using Programmable Zwitterionic Coacervates
Positively charged zwitterionic coacervates are designed to purify extracellular vesicles in high yields. This system combines several advantages of different purification methods, including the scalability of precipitation, the gentle phase of aqueous two‐phase systems, and the programmability of chromatography. Abstract Programmable coacervates based

Fast microwave heating-based one-step synthesis of DNA and RNA modified gold nanoparticles
Simple methods for attaching polynucleotides to gold nanoparticles are of interest for simplifying conjugation in a range of applications. Here, the authors report a microwave heating-based method for the fast, one-step attachment of a range of thiolated

Carbethoxylation of Polynucleotides [PDF]
Diethyl pyrocarbonate has been shown to react with poly(A), poly(C) and poly(G) but poly(U) does not react. Diethyl pyrocarbonate appears to carbethoxylate amino groups on the bases. Poly(A) can bind one carbethoxy group per base but the binding capacity of poly(G) and poly(C) under non‐denaturing conditions is 0.32 and 0.23, respectively.

Dry/Wet Cycling and the Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Prebiotic Polymer Synthesis
The endoergic nature of protein and nucleic acid assembly in aqueous media presents two questions that are fundamental to the understanding of life’s origins: (i) how did the polymers arise in an aqueous prebiotic world; and (ii) once formed in some ...

A Raman spectroscopic study of the interaction between nucleotides and the DNA binding protein gp32 of bacteriophage T4 [PDF]
Raman spectra of the bacteriophage T4 denaturing protein gp32, its complex with the polynucleotides poly(rA), poly(dA), poly(dT), poly(rU), and poly(rC), and with the oligonucleotides (dA)8 and (dA)2, were recorded and interpreted.

Dependence of the nature of the Holstein polaron motion in a polynucleotide chain subjected to a constant electric field on the initial polaron state and the parameters of the chain [PDF]
In this work, we consider the motion of a polaron in a polynucleotide Holstein molecular chain in a constant electric field. It is shown that the character of the polaron motion in the chain depends not only on the chosen parameters of the chain, but also on the initial distribution of the charge along the chain.

Nucleic acid vibrational circular dichroism, absorption, and linear dichroism spectra. I. A DeVoe theory approach [PDF]
Infrared (IR) vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), absorption, and linear dichroism (LD) spectra of four homopolyribonucleotides, poly(rA), poly(rG), poly(rC), and poly(rU), have been calculated, in the 1750–1550 cm-1 spectral region, using the DeVoe ...
