Endonuclease of restriction of type II has been found in Bacillus subtilis B-5044 during testing of endophytic strains of cotton plants bacilli. The restrictase Bsu5044I hydrolysed DNA of M13mp18 phage in 4 sites; pUC19 DNA in 5 sites; pBR322 in 15 sites. There were a lot of sites restriction in DNAs of phages T7 and lambda. A comparison of electrophoretical divisions of Bsu5044I and Cfr13I fragments of phages and plasmid DNAs showed their identity. Thus, the found restrictase Bsu5044I is an isoschisomer of AsuI.

RNA-sensing TLRs are strategically positioned in the endolysosome to detect incoming nonself RNA. RNase T2 plays a critical role in processing long, structured RNA into short oligoribonucleotides that engage TLR7 or TLR8. In addition to its positive regulatory role, RNase T2 also restricts RNA recognition through unknown mechanisms, as patients deficient in RNase T2 suffer from neuroinflammation.

To clone DNA sequences quickly and precisely into plasmids is essential for molecular biology studies. Some cloning vectors have been developed for the cloning of PCR products, including blunt-end and T-A cloning. However, different plasmids are required for the cloning of PCR products with blunt ends and 3' A overhang ends.

Functionally important amino acid sequences in proteins are often located at multiple sites. Three-dimensional structural analysis and site-directed mutagenesis may be performed to allocate functional sites for understanding structure‒function relationships and for developing novel inhibitory drugs. However, such methods are too demanding to comprehensively cover potential functional sites throughout a protein chain.

Background: Leptospirosis is an acute zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic , primarily transmitted to humans through contact with water or soil contaminated by the bacteria. It is globally distributed, with heightened prevalence in tropical regions. While prior studies have examined the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and risk factors of leptospirosis, few have explored trends and emerging topics in the field.

The field of nanopore sensing is now moving beyond nucleic acid sequencing. An exciting avenue is the use of nanopore platforms for the monitoring of biochemical reactions. Biological nanopores have been used for this application, but solid-state nanopore approaches have lagged.
