Pure metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (m-SWCNTs) are very desirable for many electrode and interconnecting applications. However, the lack of reliable processing techniques to sort m-SWCNTs from the as-synthesized SWCNT samples is an obstacle to the ...
"There is more virus in us than us in us". John Coffin's famous sentence illustrates that particular nucleic acid sequences related to exogenous viruses, called retrotransposons, constitute almost half of the human genome and largely exceeds the amount of ...
It is well recognized that base sequence exerts a significant influence on the properties of DNA and plays a significant role in protein-DNA interactions vital for cellular processes. Understanding and predicting base sequence effects requires an extensive ...
We present a precise equivalence of the Lifson-Poland-Scheraga model with wetting models. Making use of a representation of the former model in terms of random matrices, we obtain, in the limit of weak disorder, a mean-field approximation, that shows a cha ...
A central function of our innate immune system is to sense microbial pathogens through the presence of their nucleic acid genomes or their transcriptional or replicative activity. In mammals, a receptor-based system is mainly responsible for the detection ...
We have determined limits of detection (LODs) of DNA hybridization using an optical detection by two different method, i.e., surface plasmon fluorescence spectroscopy (SPFS) and optical waveguide fluorescence spectroscopy (OWFS), however, an identical sens ...
This paper presents a new double hybridized genetic algorithm for optimizing the variable order in Reduced Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams. The first hybridization adopts embryonic chromosomes as prefixes of variable orders instead of complete variable or ...
The invention relates to methods of generating templates for a nucleic acid sequencing reaction which comprise: providing at least one double-stranded nucleic acid molecule, wherein both strands of the double-stranded nucleic acid molecule are attached to ...
The molecular orientation of Cy5-labeled target DNA hybridized on a probe DNA layer was studied on a planar waveguide in the Kretchmarm configuration at various target DNA bulk concentration. Optical waveguide fluorescence spectroscopy (OWFS) was employed ...
The reactivity of three cytotoxic trans-PtII complexes bearing aliph. amine ligands, with transferrin and single-stranded oligonucleotides as DNA models, was investigated by ESI-MS and the results obtained are discussed in comparison with cisplatin. Tandem ...
