Characterization of DNA conformation inside bacterial viruses.

In this study we develop a formalism to describe the organization of DNA inside bacteriophage capsids during genome packaging. We have previously shown that DNA inside bacteriophage phi29 (phi29) is organized into folded toroids [A. S. Petrov and S. C. Harvey, Structure 15, 21 (2007)], whereas epsilon15 (epsilon15) reveals the coaxial organization of the genetic material [A. S. Petrov, K. Lim-H...

Studies on the Binding of DNA with the Inclusion of Brilliant Green inside the Cavity of γ-Cyclodextrin

The interaction of brilliant green with herring sperm DNA was investigated in detail by spectrometric methods in γ-cyclodextrin systems. On the condition of physiological pH, brilliant green prefers to form the 1:1 inclusion complex with γ-cyclodextrin.All the evidences indicated that the binding modes between γ-cyclode...

The Emergence of Complexity: Lessons from DNA

2036 How did life emerge from a soup of chemicals? How do patterns such as schools of fi sh form from individuals? How do voting patterns emerge? Such a diverse array of problems seems completely unrelated. However, they all involve “emergence of complexity.” When individuals come together, they form patterns, structures, and organizations that cannot be discerned from the individuals alone. Th...

Analysis of PCR Kinetics inside a Microfluidic DNA Amplification System

In order to analyze the DNA amplification numerically with integration of the DNA kinetics, three-dimensional simulations, including flow and thermal fields, and one-dimensional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) kinetics are presented. The simulated results are compared with experimental data that have been applied to the operation of a continuous-flow PCR device. Microchannels fabricated by Micr...
