The structure and the associated dynamics of a series of poly(?-benzyl-L-glutamate)-b-poly(dimethyl siloxane)-b-poly(?-benzyl-L-glutamate) (PBLG-b-PDMS-b-PBLG) triblock copolymers were investigated using small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering, NMR, transmi ...
In this letter, we show the results achieved using a hydrogenated amorphous silicon photosensor for a "label-free" deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis based on the measurements of the absorbance in the ultraviolet range. The optimization of the sensor str ...
Gel electrophoresis can be used to separate nicked circular DNA molecules of equal length but forming different knot types. At low electric fields, complex knots drift faster than simpler knots. However, at high electric field the opposite is the case and ...
We investigated the condensation of calf thymus DNA by amphiphilic polystyrenem-b-poly(l-lysine)n block copolymers ( PS m -b- PLys n , m, n = degree of polymerization), using small-angle X-ray scattering, polarized optical microscopy and laser scanning con ...
Recent advances in the fields of biotechnology and medicine have intensified the necessity for pharmaceutical-grade biomacromolecules purification (e.g. enzymes, antibodies, plasmid DNA). One of the key factors for a successful downstream process is the po ...
The principal components and orientations of the chem. shift anisotropy (CSA) tensors of the carbonyl (C'), nitrogen (N), and amide proton (HN) nuclei of 64 distinct amide bonds in human ubiquitin have been detd. in isotropic soln. by a set of 14 complemen ...
Cisplatin is widely used in clinic treatment against a variety of cancer diseases. It binds to two adjacent guanine residues and induces a bend in the DNA double helix. It is believed that cell death is induced upon binding of proteins, which recognize pla ...
The structure and the associated dynamics have been investigated in a series of oligopeptides of γ-benzyl-L-glutamate using DSC, WAXS, FTIR, NMR and dielectric spectroscopy, and rheology, respectively. The peptides with degrees of polymerization below 18 a ...
In this work we present the first results on a 'label-free' DNA analysis system based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film sensors. The detection mechanism is based on absorbance measurements performed on DNA molecules in a buffer solution. ...
Two unsymmetrical ditopic hexadentate ligands designed for the simultaneous recognition of two different trivalent lanthanide ions have been synthesized, LAB2 and LAB3, where A represents a tridentate benzimidazole-pyridinebenzimidazole coordination unit, ...
