Proline dehydrogenase (ProDH; 1.5.99.8) belongs to superfamily of amino acid dehydrogenase, which plays a significant role in the metabolic pathway from proline to glutamate. The goal of this research was gene cloning and characterization of ProDH enzyme from Pseudomonas fluorescens pf-5 strain. The gene encoding ProDH was isolated by means of PCR amplification and cloned in an IPTG inducible T...

A nucleic acid amplification technique termed as netlike rolling circle amplification is proposed by introducing a nicking enzyme into the existing hyperbranched rolling circle amplification system. Surprisingly dense and uniform network morphology is observed; and cubic amplification is achieved for the sensitive detection of a sequence from HIV.

Meeting the goal of providing point of care (POC) tests for molecular detection of pathogens in low resource settings places stringent demands on all aspects of the technology. OmniAmp DNA polymerase (Pol) is a thermostable viral enzyme that enables true POC use in clinics or in the field by overcoming important barriers to isothermal amplification. In this paper, we describe the multiple advan...

Based on a target-activated autocatalytic DNAzyme amplification strategy, novel fluorescence sensing platforms were constructed for highly sensitive and selective assay of base excision repair enzyme activity. By using a rolling circle amplification (RCA)-coupled amplification cascade, an extremely low detection limit (0.002 U mL(-1)) was achieved.

Signal transduction and signal amplification are both important mechanisms used within biological signalling pathways. Inspired by this process, we have developed a signal amplification methodology that utilises the selectivity and high activity of enzymes in combination with the robustness and generality of an organometallic catalyst, achieving a hybrid biological and synthetic catalyst cascad...

Sequential DEXAS (direct exponential amplification and sequencing), a one step amplification and sequencing procedure that allows accurate, inexpensive and rapid DNA sequence determination directly from genomic DNA, is described. This method relies on the simultaneous use of two DNA polymerases that differ both in their ability to incorporate dideoxynucleotides and in the time at which they are...

The method of tyramine amplification is based on the ability of HRP to catalyze the deposition of large amounts of biotinylated tyramine in the vicinity of the antigen-antibody reaction (i.e. the cellular site which contains the peroxidase detection complex). The method is based on earlier biochemical observations on the action of peroxidase upon tyramine and other related compounds (GROSS AJ a...
