The use of Cre recombinase to carry out conditional mutagenesis of transgenes and insert
DNA cassettes into eukaryotic chromosomes is widespread (1–9). Indeed, a PubMed search …

Tyrosine family site‐specific recombinases (YRs), named after the active site tyrosine
nucleophile they utilize for DNA strand breakage, are widely distributed among prokaryotes …

Site-specific recombination involves reciprocal exchange between defined DNA sites. The
reaction initiates from the formation of a recombinase–DNA synaptic complex, in which two …

With the great advancement of experimental tools, a tremendous amount of biomolecular
data has been generated and accumulated in various databases. The high dimensionality …

This article describes sample preparation techniques for AFM imaging of DNA and protein–
DNA complexes. The approach is based on chemical functionalization of the mica surface …

Cre recombinase catalyzes site-specific recombination between 34-bp loxP sites in a variety
of topological and cellular contexts. An obligatory step in the recombination reaction is the …

Site-specific recombination plays key roles in microbe biology and is exploited extensively to
manipulate the genomes of higher organisms. Cre is a well studied site-specific …

YdiV acts as an anti-FlhD4C2 factor, which negatively regulates the class 2 flagellar operons
in poor medium in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. On the other hand, one of the …

We show that aqueous dispersions of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), prepared
with the aid of nucleic acids (NAs) such as RNA or DNA, can be separated into fractions …

The synaptic protein–DNA complexes, formed by specialized proteins that bridge two or
more distant sites on DNA, are critically involved in various genetic processes. However, the …
