How a B family DNA polymerase has been evolved to copy RNA.

TL;DR: Crystal structures of a reverse transcriptase RTX, which was evolved in vitro from the B family polymerase KOD, in complex with either a DNA duplex or an RNA–DNA hybrid, suggest that the intrinsically flexible Thumb domain seems to play a major role in accommodating the RNA– DNA hybrid product distal to the active site.
Posted ContentDOI

A structure-based deep learning framework for protein engineering

TL;DR: A 3D convolutional neural network is reported that enables identification of novel gain-of-function mutations, and subsequent experiments confirm substantive phenotypic improvements in stability-associated phenotypes in vivo across three diverse proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incorporation of 5′-N-BOC-2′, 5′-Dideoxynucleoside-3′-O-Phosphoramidites Into Oligonucleotides by Automated Synthesis

TL;DR: An efficient method for synthesizing 5′-Boc-5′-amino-2′, 5′ dideoxynucleoside phosphoramidites and conditions for their incorporation in solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis are presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Origins for Everyone

TL;DR: The scientific concepts and issues underlying the origin of life, possible mechanisms of origins, and the features of living systems that can arguably be viewed as an inevitable consequence of the earliest molecules are explained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using in vitro nucleic acid selections for conventional drug design

TL;DR: The binding sites of regulatory proteins on DNA or RNA can be precisely delimited using in vitro selection and “artificial” phylogenices generated by this technique can be used to model the three‐dimensional structure of nucleic acids.
