Fluorescent labeling of plasmid DNA and mRNA : gains and losses of current labeling strategies [PDF]
Live-cell imaging has provided the life sciences with insights into the cell biology and dynamics. Fluorescent labeling of target molecules proves to be indispensable in this regard. In this Review, we focus on the current fluorescent labeling strategies

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 ...

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 ...

Error Propagation in the Hypercycle [PDF]
We study analytically the steady-state regime of a network of n error-prone self-replicating templates forming an asymmetric hypercycle and its error tail.

Molecular dynamics study on the mechanism of polynucleotide encapsulation by chitosan
The safe and effective delivery of therapeutic genes into target cell interiors is of great importance in gene therapy. Chitosan has been extensively studied as a gene delivery carrier due to its good biocompatibility and biodegradability.

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

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.
