Understanding the sequence-dependence of DNA groove dimensions: implications for DNA interactions. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The B-DNA major and minor groove dimensions are crucial for DNA-protein interactions. It has long been thought that the groove dimensions depend on the DNA sequence, however this relationship has remained elusive.

A stepwise emergence of evolution in the RNA world
How did biological evolution emerge from chemical reactions? This perspective proposes a gradual scenario of self‐organization among RNA molecules, where catalytic feedback on random mixtures plays the central role. Short oligomers cross‐ligate, and self‐assembly enables heritable variations. An event of template‐externalization marks the transition to

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) serves as fundamental genetic blueprint that governs development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all living organisms. DNA can be altered through germline and somatic mutations. Germline mutations underlie hereditary

The enzyme 5‐lipoxygenase (5‐LOX) catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes (LTs) involved in inflammatory pathophysiology. After cellular stimulation, 5‐LOX translocates to the nucleus, interacting with the 5‐LOX‐activating protein (FLAP) to form LTA4 from arachidonic acid (AA).

Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GapC) is an enzyme involved in glycolysis. The expression of this gene tends to abundant in eukaryotic cells, so this gene is frequently used as an internal control in gene expression analysis. This research aims

UDP‐glucuronic acid 4‐epimerase (UGAepi) catalyzes NAD+‐dependent interconversion of UDP‐glucuronic acid (UDP‐GlcA) and UDP‐galacturonic acid (UDP‐GalA) via C4‐oxidation, 4‐keto‐intermediate rotation, and C4‐reduction. Here, Borg et al. examined the role of the substrate's carboxylate group in the enzymic mechanism by analyzing NADH‐dependent reduction

A sequence-based 163plex microhaplotype assay for forensic DNA analysis
Novel genetic marker microhaplotype has led to an upsurge in forensic genetic research. This study established a 163 microhaplotype (MH) multiplex assay based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) and evaluated the assay’s performance and applicability ...

"Nonrandom" DNA sequence analysis in bacteriophage M13 by the dideoxy chain-termination method.
We describe a rapid "nonrandom" DNA sequence analysis procedure that facilitates the nucleotide sequence determination of large contiguous regions of DNA.
