AFM and electroanalytical studies of synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization

AFM and electroanalytical studies of synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization.

The first and most important step in the development and manufacture of a sensitive DNA-biosensor for hybridization detection is the immobilization procedure of the nucleic acid probe on the transducer surface, maintaining its mobility and conformational flexibility. MAC Mode AFM images were used to demonstrate that oligonucleotide (ODN) molecules adsorb spontaneously at the electrode surface. ...

postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...

Enhanced oligonucleotide microarray labeling and hybridization.

Benchmarks Microarrays are a powerful tool for functional studies at the molecular level (1,2). Depending on the experiment, users have a variety of commercial and homemade choices. Most commercially available microarrays come with protocols already optimized for repro-ducibility and sensitivity. However, despite continued reductions in the cost of microarrays, commercially available labeling k...

Synthetic oligonucleotide probes differentiate respiratory syncytial virus subgroups in a nucleic acid hybridization assay.

A new approach to respiratory syncytial virus subgroup differentiation has been developed on the basis of the hybridization of subgroup-specific synthetic oligonucleotides with viral mRNA. Two oligonucleotide probes were designed from the nucleotide sequences of an A and a B subgroup respiratory syncytial virus glycoprotein G gene. All 28 virus isolates tested were correctly classified by subgr...
