Molecular gears: a pair of DNA circles continuously rolls against each other.
A pair of DNA nanocircles has been constructed to model gears. The nanogears can move against each other continuously. Each gear consists of a DNA duplex circle and three single-stranded teeth. The teeth on the two gears are brought together by linker strands, which are complementary to the gear teeth. The teeth are separated from each other by removal of the linker strands with a strand displa...
متن کاملInfection: Microbial Nucleases Turn Immune Cells Against Each Other
Bacteria subvert the immune system by suppressing antimicrobial responses or directly killing immune cells. A new study shows that Staphylococcus aureus can also turn antimicrobial responses to its advantage by converting neutrophil extracellular traps into a bacterial weapon against macrophages.
متن کاملConstruction of a Synthetic Vector for Preparation of a 100 Base Pair DNA Ladder
DNA size markers are widely used to estimate the size of DNA samples on agarose or polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis (PAGE). DNA markers can be prepared by mixing PCR products with definite sizes.Alternatively, they are prepared by restriction enzyme digestion of the genomic DNA of bacteriophages ornatural and synthetic DNA plasmids. The present study describes engineering of ...
متن کاملMolecular Diversity of Mitochondrial DNA in Iranian Azeri Ethnicities vis-Ã -vis Other Azeris in Asia
In order to investigate the molecular diversity of mtDNA in Azeri population, 133 Azeri subjects inhabitingdifferent regions of Azerbaijan (Iran) were selected. Blood samples were taken from these subjects formtDNA extraction. The extracted mtDNA samples were then studied by the PCR-RFLP method.Fourteen haplogroups were characterized from which 82% were identified as European ...
متن کاملHow molecular knots can pass through each other.
We propose a mechanism in which two molecular knots pass through each other and swap positions along a polymer strand. Associated free energy barriers in our simulations only amount to a few kBT, which may enable the interchange of knots on a single DNA strand.
