DNA assembly using bis-peptide nucleic acids (bisPNAs)
DNA nanostructures are ordered oligonucleotide arrangements that have applications for DNA computers, crystallography, diagnostics and material sciences. Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a DNA/RNA mimic that offers many advantages for hybridization, but its potential for application in the field of DNA nanotechnology has yet to be thoroughly examined. We report the synthesis and characterization o...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of proteins and their nucleic acids
We have developed an artificial protein scaffold, herewith called a protein vector, which allows linking of an in-vitro synthesised protein to the nucleic acid which encodes it through the process of self-assembly. This protein vector enables the direct physical linkage between a functional protein and its genetic code. The principle is demonstrated using a streptavidin-based protein vector (SA...
متن کاملBoronic acids in molecular self-assembly.
The reversibility of boronic acid and diol interaction makes it an ideal candidate for the design of self-assembled molecular structures. Reversibility is required to ensure that the thermodynamically most stable structure is formed. Reversibility also ensures that any errors produced during the assembly process are not permanent.
متن کاملPrebiotic Assembly of Nucleic Acids
The ideal scientist is one who thinks like a poet, but works like a bookkeeper. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank my advisor, Dr. Nick Hud, who over the years helped me develop my passion for science. The opportunity to work in his lab on the chemical origins of life was an eye-opening experience that will continue to influence my career for many years to come. I would also like t...
متن کاملPathways for virus assembly around nucleic acids.
Understanding the pathways by which viral capsid proteins assemble around their genomes could identify key intermediates as potential drug targets. In this work, we use computer simulations to characterize assembly over a wide range of capsid protein-protein interaction strengths and solution ionic strengths. We find that assembly pathways can be categorized into two classes, in which intermedi...
