Natural tetrameric streptavidin captures and immobilizes biotinylated molecules with ultra-tight binding (K(d) approximately 10(-13) to 10(-14) M). In contrast, engineered monomeric streptavidin offers reversible binding (K(d) approximately 10(-7) ... Read more...
Functional recovery after lesion of a central pattern generator.
19 Oct 2009 In cases of neuronal injury when regeneration is restricted, functional recovery can occur through reorganization of the remaining neural circuitry. We found an example of such recovery in the central pattern generator (CPG) for the escape swim of ... Read more...
Cell-targeted self-assembled DNA nanostructures.
12 Oct 2009 We present two strategies for attaching self-assembled DNA arrays to the surfaces of cells. Our first approach uses biotin-streptavidin interactions to bind DNA architectures to biotinylated cells. The second approach takes advantage of specific ... Read more...
