N-6 methylation of adenine destabilises duplex DNA and this can increase the proportion of DNA that dissociates into single strands. We have investigated utilising this property to measure the DNA adenine methyltransferase-catalyzed conversion of hemimethylated to fully methylated DNA through

Carcinogenic potential of argemone oil (AO) and butter yellow (BY), the adulterants encountered in edible oil, in gall bladder of Swiss albino mice was undertaken to investigate the potential aetiological factors of gall bladder carcinoma (GBC) in the Indo-Gangetic basin.

A novel fluorescent sensor for the detection of Hg(2+) in aqueous media was developed. The method takes advantages of the highly selective thymine-Hg(2+)-thymine coordination and the sensitive "signal-on" structure-switching molecular beacon.
The azo-dye p-dimethylaminoazobenzene (p-DAB) is a potential tumor initiator in rodents, but the underlying mechanism is not clear. Following chronic feeding of the carcinogen for 3, 5 and 7 weeks, trace elemental status, free radical generation, oxidative damage, antioxidant profile
The membrane topology of the colicin E1 channel domain was studied by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The FRET involved a genetically encoded fluorescent amino acid (coumarin) as the donor and a selectively labeled cysteine residue tethered with DABMI (4-(dimethylamino)phenylazophenyl-4'-maleimide)
