High-resolution capillary electrophoresis sizing of preformed complexes of bis-intercalating fluorescent dyes with double-stranded DNA has been demonstrated using hydroxyethylcellulose and 3-[tris-(hydroxymethyl) methylamino]-1-propanesulfonic acid-tetrapentylammonium (Taps-NPe+4) buffers (S. M. Clark and R. A. Mathies, Anal. Chem. 69, 1355-1363, 1997). Such capillary electrophoresis

A new method to introduce the concentration gradient into the capillary has been developed and its application to DNA capillary electrophoresis is presented. The concentration gradient produced by mixing 5% w/v polyacrylamide-co-poly(N-dimethylacrylamide) (PAM-co-PDMA) solution and 1 x Tris/N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl-3-amino-propanesulfonic acid/EDTA (TT)

Somatic cells were directly converted to functional neurons through the use of a combination of transcription factors, including Ascl1, Brn2, and Myt1l. However, a major limitation is the lack of a reliable source of cell-replacement therapy for neurological diseases. Here

We report the first direct electrochemical characterization of the impact of oxygen on the hydrogen oxidation activity of an oxygen-tolerant, group 3, soluble [NiFe]-hydrogenase: hydrogenase I from Pyrococcus furiosus (PfSHI), which grows optimally near 100 °C. Chronoamperometric experiments were used

The use of artificial tissues in regenerative medicine is limited due to hypoxia. As a strategy to overcome this drawback, we have shown that photosynthetic biomaterials can produce and provide oxygen independently of blood perfusion by generating chimeric animal-plant tissues
