Published: September 2005

A novel method for preparation of DNA tubes using the DNA tile system with assistance of a four-way branched DNA-porphyrin connector is described. The detailed DNA tube structures were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM).

CRISPR-Cas-based technology, emerging as a leading platform for molecular assays, has been extensively researched and applied in bioanalysis. However, achieving simultaneous and highly sensitive detection of multiple nucleic acid targets remains a significant challenge for most current CRISPR-Cas systems. Herein, a CRISPR Cas12a based calibratable single particle counting-mediated biosensor was constructed for dual RNAs logic and ultra-sensitive detection in one tube based on DNA Tetrahedron (DTN)-interface supported fluorescent particle probes coupled with a novel synergistic cascaded strategy between CRISPR Cas13a system and strand displacement amplification (SDA).

Inert splint-driven oligonucleotide assembly.

In this study, we introduce a new method for oligonucleotide fragment assembly. Unlike polymerase chain assembly and ligase chain assembly that rely on short, highly purified oligonucleotides, our method, named , uses a one-tube, splint-driven assembly reaction. Splynthesis connects standard-desalted "contig" oligos (∼150 nt in length) via shorter "splint" oligos harboring 5' and 3' blocking modifications to prevent off-target ligation and amplification events.

Bacteriophages are viruses infecting bacteria. The vast majority of them bear a tail, allowing host recognition, cell wall perforation, and DNA injection into the host cytoplasm. Using electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) and single particle analysis, we determined the organization of the tail proximal extremity of siphophage T5 that possesses a long flexible tail and solved the structure of its tail terminator protein p142 (TrP).

Institute of Physiological Chemistry, Faculty of Medicine Carl Gustav Carus, Technische Universität Dresden, Dresden, Germany.

Adenosin triphosphate (ATP)-dependent nucleosome remodeling factors sculpt the nucleosomal landscape of eukaryotic chromatin. They deposit, evict, or reposition nucleosomes along DNA in a process termed nucleosome sliding. Remodeling has traditionally been analyzed using mononucleosomes as a model substrate.
