In the present study, we compared the performances of size-exclusion chromatography for the purification of plasmid DNA when different concentrations (0.5M, 1M, 2M, respectively) of two types of salt (NaCl and (NH(4))(2)SO(4)) are present in running buffers. Our experiment results displayed that it is not only the resolution of RNA but also those of supercoiled plasmid DNA and host's genomic DNA were increased greatly in the presence of high concentration of water-structure salt. We deduce that two separation modes may be involved in the process: The supercoiled plasmid DNA is influenced mainly by compaction effect and eluted in the size-exclusion mode; whereas, RNA and genomic DNA are influenced mainly by hydrophobic effect due to their stretched and loose structures and eluted in the interaction mode. This method led to an improved efficiency of size-exclusion chromatography.

Inducible systems are crucial to metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, enabling organisms that function as biosensors and produce valuable compounds. However, almost all inducible systems are strain-specific, limiting comparative analyses and applications across strains rapidly. This study designed and presented a robust workflow for developing the cross-species inducible system.

Bacterial genomes contain a plethora of secondary replicons of divergent size. Circular replicons must carry a system for resolving dimeric forms, resulting from recombination between sister copies. These systems use site-specific recombinases.

Prime editing (PE) is a CRISPR-based tool for genome engineering that can be applied to generate human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-based disease models. PE technology safely introduces point mutations, small insertions, and deletions (indels) into the genome. It uses a Cas9-nickase (nCas9) fused to a reverse transcriptase (RT) as an editor and a PE guide RNA (pegRNA), which introduces the desired edit with great precision without creating double-strand breaks (DSBs).

Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are a diverse group of peptides, typically composed of 4 to 40 amino acids, known for their unique ability to transport a wide range of substances-such as small molecules, plasmid DNA, small interfering RNA, proteins, viruses, and nanoparticles-across cellular membranes while preserving the integrity of the cargo. CPPs exhibit passive and non-selective behavior, often requiring functionalization or chemical modification to enhance their specificity and efficacy. The precise mechanisms governing the cellular uptake of CPPs remain ambiguous; however, electrostatic interactions between positively charged amino acids and negatively charged glycosaminoglycans on the membrane, particularly heparan sulfate proteoglycans, are considered the initial crucial step for CPP uptake.
