At the interface between science and engineering, there is the field of biomimicry: Innovations inspired by the observation of natural, evolutionary optimized biological structures and processes. To understand the challenges of biomimicry, the concept of â ...
DNA analysis is used for a variety of purposes, including disease diagnosis and DNA profiling; this involves extracting DNA from living organisms. In this study, we prepared polycationic silica particles to extract DNA that has the negatively charged phosp ...
Interactions of proteins with DNA are essential for carrying out DNA's biological functions and performing a cellular cycle. Such processes as DNA replication, expression and repair are performed by an organised action of various proteins. To better unders ...
Fluorescent dyes are widely used for staining and visualization of DNA in optical microscopy based methods. Even though for some dyes the mechanism of binding is known, how this binding affects DNA remains poorly understood. Here we present a novel experim ...
High-density monolayers (HDMs) of single-strand (ss) DNA are important nanoscale platforms for the fabrication of sensors and for mechanistic studies of enzymes on surfaces. Such systems can be used, for example, to monitor gene expression, and for the con ...
The work presented focuses on the analysis of a police investigation implemented in the computing environment SCY-Lab. The prime objective is to check if the implementation of the situation helps pupils change their conceptions concerning the DNA molecule ...
Biomolecules are the building blocks of living organisms and perform the most important functions in a biological process. The aim of biophysics is to understand the biological functions of biomolecules in terms of their structure: structure and function o ...
We report a simple and efficient way to accomplish the chemical modification of glass nanopores by means of lipid self-assembly. Lipid coating improves the success rate of these glass nanopores as biosensors to detect lambda-DNA. ...
DNA is the bio-polymer containing the genetic information needed for the development and functioning for all living organisms. It has a polymeric structure consisting of units called nucleotides, each consisting of a non-polar, hydrophobic interior (the ba ...
DNA adopts different conformations based on its environment. We reveal conditions that either preserve the DNA's physiological B-conformation, even upon its placement in UHV, or lead to a partial B-form to A-form reorganization upon DNA's deposition on a s ...
