A facile and efficient way to impart compelling chemical functionality is the utilization of bio-
related materials that are easily accessible from natural products. Here, inspired by …

We describe a simple automated method to extract and quantify transient heterogeneous
dynamical changes from large data sets generated in single-molecule/particle tracking …

The single most intrinsic property of nonrigid polymer chains is their ability to adopt
enormous numbers of chain conformations, resulting in huge conformational entropy. When …

Using fluorescence microscopy and single-particle tracking, we have directly observed the
dynamics of λ-DNA trapped inside poly (acrylamide-co-acrylate) hydrogels under an …

Agarose based solid electrolyte host is synthesized by crosslinking agarose with 3-
glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane. This host exhibits an impressive dissolubility for lithium …

Dynamic fluorescence-based single-molecule imaging of λ-DNA molecules driven through
agarose hydrogels by DC electric fields reveals that passage through the hydrogel (98.5 …

It is hypothesized that nonlinear solid friction between the gel matrix and DNA molecules
inhibits the motion of DNA through the nanopores of the gel during electrophoresis. In this …

Mass transfer processes in which specific interactions with environments lead to complex
diffusion patterns, such as the occurrence of transient sub-diffusive behaviors or of …

Knots are intriguing topological objects and ubiquitous in biopolymers such as DNA
molecules. The occurrence of knots in DNA confounds the accuracy of genomics …

The interest in modified oligonucleotides continues in this review period, with over 1000
publications cited. A number of new internucleotide linkages have been described, and …
