The ligands (Bpy-H, 5) have been designed to connect the Hoechst33258 skeleton for DNA binding and 2,2'-bipyridine for Cu(2+) complexation. It has been revealed that the new Hoechst ligand long Bpy-H (5L) having a long linker exhibits Cu(2+)-mediated assembly on the DNA template having two A(3)T(3) sites in a selective manner depending on the length of the linker of the ligand as well as on the distance between the two A(3)T(3) sites of DNA.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major global health issue, with an estimated 254 million people living with chronic HBV infection worldwide as of 2022. Chronic HBV infection is the leading cause of cirrhosis and liver cancer. Current treatment with nucleos(t)ide analogs is effective in the suppression of viral activity but generally requires lifelong treatment.

Introduction: Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) has been a pivotal scientific technique since the twentieth century, and it is widely applied across various domains. Despite its ubiquity, challenges persist in efficiently amplifying specific DNA templates.
Method: While PCR experimental procedures have garnered significant attention, the analysis of the DNA template, which is the experiment's focal point, has been notably overlooked.

This paper is focused on the origins of the contemporary genetic code. A novel explanation is proposed for how the mapping of nucleotides in DNA to amino acids in proteins arose that derives from repeat nucleotide sequences able to form alternative nucleic acid structures (ANS), such as the unusual left-handed Z-DNA, triplex, G-quadruplex and I-motif conformations. The scheme identifies sequence-specific contacts that map ANS repeats to dipeptide polymers (DPS).

Hence, we developed a fluorescence biosensor based on target miRNA-initiated rolling circle amplification (RCA) to generate RCA products with multiple tandem catalytic hairpin DNA templates that trigger primer exchange reactions (PER) which extend short single-strand DNA (ssDNA) primers into long ssDNA. Subsequently, the long ssDNA activates the -cleavage activity of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas12a system to cleave a fluorescent reporter chain, enabling ultrasensitive detection of miRNAs through the output fluorescence signal.

Hematodinium perezi, a pathogenic dinoflagellate, is one of major epidemiological agents that lead to severe losses of cultured marine crustaceans in China. This study aimed to develop a novel, sensitive and specific detection method qualified for early surveillance and control of the disease caused by H. perezi.
