Highly Parallel Method for Synthesis of DNA Repeats Enables Discovery of “Smart” Protein Polymers
Robust high-throughput synthesis methods are needed to expand the repertoire of repetitive protein-polymers for different applications. To address this need, we developed a new method, overlap extension rolling circle amplification (OERCA), for the highly parallel synthesis of genes encoding repetitive protein-polymers. OERCA involves a single PCR-type reaction for the rolling circle amplificat...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Development of an Efficient Hybrid Method for Motif Discovery in DNA Sequences
This work presents a hybrid method for motif discovery in DNA sequences. The proposed method called SPSO-Lk, borrows the concept of Chebyshev polynomials and uses the stochastic local search to improve the performance of the basic PSO algorithm as a motif finder. The Chebyshev polynomial concept encourages us to use a linear combination of previously discovered velocities beyond that proposed b...
متن کاملCombinatorial electrochemistry: A highly parallel, optical screening method for discovery of better electrocatalysts
Combinatorial screening of electrochemical catalysts by current-voltage methods can be unwieldy for large sample sizes. By converting the ions generated in an electrochemical half-cell reaction to a fluorescence signal, the most active compositions in a large electrode array have been identified. A fluorescent acid-base indicator was used to image high concentrations of hydrogen ions, which wer...
متن کاملA simplified method for synthesizing juvenile hormone-protein conjugates.
A convenient and simple method is presented for the synthesis of juvenile hormone-thyroglobulin conjugates. Methods previously described for this hapten linkage have used a two-step process in which a reactive intermediate was isolated and then used for conjugation. With the approach described here, an efficient, single-step conjugation reaction is effected between the carboxyl moiety of juveni...
