“But when it enters E. coli, the linear DNA gets converted to a circular molecule because the viral DNA has sticky—or cohesive—ends,” said Mertz. She hypothesized that this also happened with ...

Remote-controlled microflow using light-controlled state transitions within DNA condensates has been reported by scientists from the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. By switching between ultraviolet ...

Other modes of nucleic acid interaction aside from sticky ends are available. For example, Tecto-RNA molecules 6, held together by loop–loop interactions, or paranemic crossover (PX) DNA, where ...

"DNA strands start to separate over 75 degrees, which could allow a protein to create sticky ends. If there were a protein that was active at higher temperatures, I reasoned, that protein could be ...

"DNA strands start to separate over 75 degrees, which could allow a protein to create sticky ends. If there were a protein that was active at higher temperatures, I reasoned, that protein could be ...

And for many years biologists have used DNA for its recognition properties, especially exploiting the sticky ends in genetic engineering. A sticky end occurs when one strand of the helix extends ...

Recent work1,2,3 has demonstrated the self-assembly of designed periodic two-dimensional arrays composed of DNA tiles, in which the intermolecular contacts are directed by ‘sticky’ ends. In a ...

Scientists have constructed ''DNA droplets'' comprising designed DNA nanostructures. ... Each side of a Y-motif comprises a short sticky end that interacts with other 'compatible' sticky ends.

“DNA strands start to separate over 75 degrees, which could allow a protein to create sticky ends. If there were a protein that was active at higher temperatures, I reasoned, that protein could ...

This self-assembly creates 2D DNA tiles, which are equipped with sticky ends that allow for immediate connection to the adjacent DNA tiles for the construction of pre-determined lattices. Hybrid ...
