A prototype of oligonucleotide microarray for detection of Lassa, Junin, Machupo, Guanarito viruses (Arenaviridae family), Ebola and Marburg viruses (Filoviridae family) was presented. An original approach founded on virus proteins (nucleocapsid protein for Junin, Guanarito, Machupo viruses and RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase for Lassa, Ebola and Marburg viruses) amino acid sequences analysis with subsequent transform of revealed unique peptides into due sets of oligonucleotides was used to design probes for hybridization and primers.

The transcription factor, early growth response-1 (Egr-1) is the product of a prototypic immediate-early gene that plays an integral role in the pathogenesis of multiple cardiovascular diseases. Egr-1 has been linked with atherogenesis, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, cardiac fibrosis and heart failure. Egr-1 expression is triggered by a host of factors including cytokines, hormones, growth factors, hyperglycaemia, biomechanical forces and oxygen deprivation.

Peptides are well known for forming nanoparticles, while DNA duplexes, triplexes and tetraplexes create rigid nanostructures. Accordingly, the covalent conjugation of peptides to DNA/RNA produces hybrid self-assembling features and may lead to interesting nano-assemblies distinct from those of their individual components. Herein, we report the preparation of a collagen mimetic peptide incorporating lysine in its backbone, with alkylamino side chains radially conjugated with G-rich PNA [collagen-(PNA-GGG)].

The translation of discoveries on extracellular vesicle (EV) based cancer biomarkers to personalised precision oncology requires the development of robust, sensitive and specific assays that are amenable to adoption in the clinical laboratory. Whilst a variety of elegant approaches for EV liquid biopsy have been developed, most of them remain as research prototypes due to the requirement of a high level of microfabrication and/or sophisticated instruments. Hence, this study is set to develop a simple DNA aptamer-enabled and fluorescence polarisation-based homogenous assay that eliminates the need to separate unbound detection ligands from the bound species for EV detection.

The thrombin binding aptamer (TBA) is a prototypical platform used to understand the impact of chemically-modified nucleotides on aptamer stability and target affinity. To provide structural insight into the experimentally-observed effects of modification size, location, and number on aptamer performance, long time-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed on multiple binding orientations of TBA-thrombin complexes that contain a large, flexible tryptophan thymine derivative (T-W) or a truncated analogue (T-K). Depending on modification position, T-W alters aptamer-target binding orientations, fine-tunes aptamer-target interactions, strengthens networks of nucleic acid-protein contacts, and/or induces target conformational changes to enhance binding.
