A minimal biochemical route towards de novo formation of synthetic phospholipid membranes. [PDF]
, 2019 All living cells consist of membrane compartments, which are mainly composed of phospholipids. Phospholipid synthesis is catalyzed by membrane-bound enzymes, which themselves require pre-existing membranes for function.

Synthesis of 2’-Modified Nucleotides
Molecules, 2000 We show in this work the development of modified building blocks for the synthesis of nuclease resistant hammerhead ribozymes. These modified monomers retain the 2’-OH which is essential for the activity of these molecules.

Inhibition of Murine Cytomegalovirus Infection in Animals by RNase P-Associated External Guide Sequences. [PDF]
, 2017 External guide sequence (EGS) RNAs are associated with ribonuclease P (RNase P), a tRNA processing enzyme, and represent promising agents for gene-targeting applications as they can direct RNase-P-mediated cleavage of a target mRNA.

Construction of Reverse Genetics System for Feline Calicivirus FCV‐BJ616 and Proteomic Analysis
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.This study successfully isolated the FCV‐BJ616 strain derived from cats and established a reverse genetics system. In vivo experiments showed that rFCV‐BJ616 exhibits wild‐type virulence, leading to high fever, weight loss, and multi‐organ lesions in infected cats. Proteomic analysis indicated that both rFCV‐BJ616 and FCV‐BJ616 share similar regulatory

How RNA acts as a nuclease:some mechanistic comparisons in the nucleolytic ribozymes [PDF]
, 2017 Recent structural and mechanistic studies have shed considerable light on the catalytic mechanisms of nucleolytic ribozymes. The discovery of several new ribozymes in this class has now allowed comparisons to be made, and the beginnings of mechanistic ...
