Solid-state nanopores promise a scalable platform for single-molecule DNA analysis. Direct, real-time identification of nucleobases in DNA strands is still limited by the sensitivity and the spatial resolution of established ionic sensing strategies. Here, we study a different but promising
UV-A radiation (320-400 nm) induces damages to the DNA molecule and its components through photosensitized reactions. Pterins, heterocyclic compounds widespread in biological systems, participate in relevant biological processes and are able to act as photosensitizers. We have investigated the photosensitization

Multiple kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) on deoxyadenosine monophosphate (dAMP) hydrolysis in 0.1 M HCl were used to determine the transition state (TS) structure and probe its intrinsic reactivity. The experimental KIEs revealed a stepwise (SN1) mechanism, with a discrete oxacarbenium

Poly-trans-[(2-carboxyethyl)germasesquioxane] (Ge-132) is a water-soluble organogermanium compound that exerts various physiological effects, including anti-inflammatory activity and pain relief. In water, Ge-132 is hydrolyzed to 3-(trihydroxygermyl)propanoic acid (THGP), which in turn is capable of interacting with cis-diol compounds through its trihydroxy
The use of DNA markers has revolutionized selection in crop breeding by linkage mapping and QTL analysis, but major problems still remain for polyploid species where marker-assisted selection lags behind the situation in diploids because of its high genome complexity.
