Chromosomal and plasmid DNA molecules in bacterial cells are maintained under torsional tension and are therefore supercoiled. With the exception of extreme thermophiles, supercoiling has a negative sign, which means that the torsional tension diminishes t ...
DNA uptake by polyethylenimine (PEI)-mediated transfection was investigated in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO DG44) cells. Rapid DNA uptake was observed with the maximum occurring during the first 45-60 min after addition of PEI-DNA complexes to cells. With lo ...
The DNA and RNA helicase UPF1 is well known for its central role in Nonsense Mediated RNA Decay (NMD), which promotes degradation of mRNAs containing premature stop codons. However, we have recently demonstrated that human UPF1 is also essential for DNA re ...
This thesis explores different aspects of DNA topology through experimental and numerical techniques. Topology is a vast mathematical field, that deals with the spatial properties of objects undergoing continuous deformations, but here it is restricted to ...
Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) was used to image silver-stained proteins on a poly(vinylidene difluoride) membrane. The method is based on measuring the current at a scanning microelectrode in the feedback mode. The electrochemical feedback is ...
We report in situ trapping of a thiolated DNA duplex with eight base pairs into a polymer-protected gold nanogap device under near-physiological conditions. The double-stranded DNA was captured by electrophoresis and covalently attached to the nanogap elec ...
Protein A-coated magnetic beads (0.3 μm) have been trapped in a small portion of a neutrally coated capillary (50 μm id). Anti-β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) antibodies have then been immobilized on the beads through strong affinity with protein A to subsequently ...
Electrophorescing blopolymers across nanopores modulates the ionic current through the pore, revealing the polymer's diameter, length, and conformation. The rapidity of polymer translocation (similar to 30 000 bp/ms) in this geometry greatly limits the inf ...
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were coated with polyethylenimine. Here, we briefly describe the synthesis as well as DNA:PEI:SPION complexes and the characterization of the compounds according to their particle size, zeta-potential, mo ...
The exposure of CHO DG44 cells to an osmotic shock, after DNA uptake, results in a cellular volume decrease of approx. 55%. Repetitive osmotic shocks targeted different sub-populations of cells as was demonstrated using two different fluorescent reporter g ...
