Self-biotinylation of DNA G-quadruplexes via intrinsic peroxidase activity
The striking and ubiquitous in vitro affinity between hemin and DNA/RNA G-quadruplexes raises the intriguing possibility of its relevance to biology. To date, no satisfactory experimental framework has been reported for investigating such a possibility. Complexation by G-quadruplexes leads to activation of the bound hemin toward catalysis of 1- and 2-electron oxidative reactions, with phenolic ...
متن کاملLight harvesting antenna on an amyloid scaffold.
A pigment array has been constructed within a paracrystalline amyloid nanotube and Förster energy transfer along the nanotube surface has been demonstrated to self-assembled acceptor dyes.
متن کاملDNA-directed spatial assembly of photosynthetic light-harvesting proteins.
This manuscript describes the surface immobilization of a light-harvesting complex to prescribed locations directed by the sequence-selective recognition of duplex DNA. An engineered light-harvesting complex (RC-LH1) derived from Rhodopseudomonas (Rps.) palustris containing the zinc finger (ZF) domain zif268 was prepared. The zif268 domain directed the binding of zfRC-LH1 to target double-stran...
متن کاملArtificial light-harvesting antenna systems grafted on a carbohydrate platform.
An enantiopure α-D-glucopyranoside derivative has been used as a platform to prepare artificial antenna systems based on bodipy subunits. Efficient and ultrafast energy transfer (in the fs and ps time regimes) takes place in the multibodipy systems.
متن کاملSelf-assembling DNA-caged particles: nanoblocks for hierarchical self-assembly.
DNA is an ideal candidate to organize matter on the nanoscale, primarily due to the specificity and complexity of DNA based interactions. Recent advances in this direction include the self-assembly of colloidal crystals using DNA grafted particles. In this paper we theoretically study the self-assembly of DNA-caged particles. These nanoblocks combine DNA grafted particles with more complicated ...
