Background: Currently, there are many different real-time amplification platforms. However, the results of DNA measurements from experiments performed on different platforms are not necessarily comparable and results may not be repeatable within

Over the past 10 years, DNA testing to identify disease associated mutations and specific organisms, which represent public health and safety concerns, have become major targets for laboratory testing. RNA testing is also emerging for gene expression, both
Both infrared and Raman are increasingly applied in biomolecular structure characterization, thus getting acceptance alongside traditional bioanalytical techniques. Physical principles and biological sampling requirements are reviewed. Advanced

We measured absorption and emission spectra, fluorescence quantum yield, anisotropy, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and melting temperature to characterize fluorescein- and tetramethyIrhodamine (TMR)-labeled oligonucleotides in solution and

The typing of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located throughout the mitochondrial genome (mtGenome) allows for differentiation between individulas possessing an identical HVa/HV2 sequence. A set of 11 SNPs selected for separating the most common
The generation of reactive oxygen species may be both beneficial to cells, performing a function in inter- and intra-cellular signaling, and detrimental, modifying cellular bimolecules, accumulation of which has been associated with numerous diseases. Of
Proton transfer in bacteriorhodopsin from the cytoplasm to the extracellular side is initiated from protonated asp96 in the cytoplasmic region towards the deprotonated Schiff base. This occurs in the transition from the photocycle late M state to the N

The time course and thermodynamics of the lipase-catalyzed transesterification reaction (benzl alcohol + butyl acetate = benzyl acetate + 1-butanol) has been studied in supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO 2), n-hexane, toluene, and neat media (no solvent

Activation of telomerase plays a critical role in unlimited proliferation and immortalization of cells. Telomerase activity has been shown to correlate with tumor progression, indicating that tumors expressing this enzyme posses aggressive clinical

MitoMorphy uses a number of publicly available human mitochondrial DNA sequences from different ethnic groups to compare and annotate the associated polymorphic data. It provides an integrated display of mitochondrial DNA sequence comparison, sequence
Epidemiology is the study of how often diseases occur in different groups of people and why. Epidemiological information is used to plan and evaluate strategies to prevent illness and as a guide to the management of patients in whom disease has already
The kinetics for the isomerization of fructose-6-phosphate to glucose-6-phosphate (F6P -> G6P) by baker's yeast phosphoglucose isomerase in terms of k cat and K m was determined from analysis of Differential Stopped Flow Microcalorimeter (DSFM)

Allosteric and cooperative control signals were investigated in the tetrameric enzyme threonine deaminase. The tetramer consists of two dimers that associate at the x dyad. The structure pointed the way to use the Q175E mutation to create hybrid tetramers
We have compared telomerase activity measurements by slab-gel and capillary electrophoresis in human cultured cells and in epithelial cells isolated from clinical blood specimens. The cultured cells were A549 and H125 human cancer cell lines, and the
