Nanopores are a label-free platform with the ability to detect subtle changes in the activities of individual biomolecules under physiological conditions.Here,we comprehensively review the technological development of...
Background: Sequence-specific binding by transcription factors (TFs) plays a significant role in the selection and regulation of target genes. At the protein:DNA interface, amino acid side-chains construct a diver...
The specificity of protein-DNA interactions is most commonly modeled using position weight matrices (PWMs). First introduced in 1982, they have been adapted to many new types of data and many different approaches ha...

The thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus shibatae synthesizes a large amount of the 7-ku DMA binding proteins known as Ssh7. Our hybridization experiments showed that two Ssh7-encoding genes existed in the genome of ...
HL-60 cells have been induced with differentiation index 16% by S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) as in-ducer in the presence of optimum concentration of 10 μmol/L. The methylation level of genome DNA determined by HPLC ...
Autoantibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus which cross-react with double stranded DNA and intermediate filament proteins are frequently reported. However, little is Known about the origin and the target of these a...
