Single-stranded DNA-binding (SSB) proteins play an important role in DNA metabolism involving replication, recombination, and repair all living beings. In molecular biology, SSB are used as enhancers to increase the efficiency specificity of PCR. Thermostable protein eliminates secondary structure or dimer formation significantly effectiveness amplification fragments. this study, it was ensured...

We have developed a rapid method for the isolation of leptospiral chromosomal DNA which yields DNA of a purity suitable for restriction endonuclease analysis. A small volume (15 to 20 ml) of an exponentially growing culture of leptospires yielded 2 to 4 micrograms of chromosomal DNA. In a 1-day protocol, the DNA was isolated, restricted with endonucleases, and fractionated on an agarose gel. Ch...

The extraction of high quality DNA from processed meat can often represent the crucial step in an authentication process by PCR-based methods. In this study, the effect of three different domestic cooking methods (roasting, boiling, and microwave) on DNA isolated from two beef muscles has been investigated. The quality of extracted DNA was evaluated by amplifying target sequences from mitochond...

For the analysis of protein-DNA interactions by coupled gel-shift/footprinting, DNA fragments need to be extracted from polyacrylamide gels and subsequently separated on high resolution gels. Due to impurities in the extracted DNA, single nucleotide resolution is frequently not achieved. We now describe an improved experimental strategy that employs transient coupling of DNA fragments to a soli...

DNA tetrahedron as the simplest 3D DNA nanostructure has been applied widely in biomedicine and biosensing. Herein, we design and fabricate a series of circular assemblies of DNA tetrahedron with high purity and decent yields. These circular nanostructures are confirmed by endonuclease digestion, gel electrophoresis and atomic force microscopy. Inspired by rotary protein motor, we demonstrate t...

Spectrophotometric analysis is one of the most common techniques used to quantitate nucleic acids in a solution. More specifically, 260/280 UV absorbance ratio acid can be determine their purity [1]Huss VAR, Festl, H, Schleifer KH. Studies on spectrophotometric determination DNA hybridization from renaturation rates. Syst. Appl. Microbiol. 1983; 4(2), 184–192. . However, traditional fixed-pathl...

A method using quinidine and optically active binol-derived phosphoric acid as a cocatalyst to catalyze the asymmetric semipinacol rearrangement of 2,3-allenols forming optically active 3-bromo-3-enals that contain an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter has been developed. After some further treatments, the products with practical enantiomeric purity could be prepared.

A simple and efficient method is developed for the zinc catalyzed Claisen rearrangement of allyl aryl ethers to o-allyl phenols by stirring in an oil-bath at 55 °C in liquid phase. Moreover, zinc powder is re-cyclable up to six times use without much loss of significant activity. In addition to it, the products are obtained in good to excellent yields and are in a state of high purity. The stru...
