Jennifer M. Heemstra,Rory Waterman,John M. Antos,Penny J. Beuning,Scott K. Bur,Linda Columbus,Andrew L. Feig,Amelia A. Fuller,Jason G. Gillmore,Aaron M. Leconte,Casey H. Londergan,William C. K. Pomerantz,Jennifer A. Prescher,Levi M. Stanley +13 more
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyridine-containing m-phenylene ethynylene oligomers having tunable basicities
TL;DR: Incorporation of a pyridine monomer into the backbone of a m-phenylene ethynylene oligomer allows functionalization of the interior binding cavity of the folded oligomer, granting access to a pK(a) range of 5-14 in acetonitrile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bilingual Peptide Nucleic Acids: Encoding the Languages of Nucleic Acids and Proteins in a Single Self-Assembling Biopolymer.
TL;DR: The design, synthesis, and stimuli-responsive assembly behavior of a bilingual biopolymer that integrates both amino acid and nucleobase sequences into a single peptide nucleic acid (PNA) scaffold is described to enable tunable storage and retrieval of tertiary structural behavior and programmable molecular recognition capabilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced methylation rate within a foldable molecular receptor.
TL;DR: A N,N-(dimethylamino)pyridine monomer is incorporated into the backbone of a m-phenyleneethynylene oligomer such that the pyridine nitrogen is located on the interior surface of the binding cavity in the folded structure of the oligomer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unzipping of A-Form DNA-RNA, A-Form DNA-PNA, and B-Form DNA-DNA in the α-Hemolysin Nanopore
Rukshan T. Perera,Aaron M. Fleming,Amberlyn M. Peterson,Jennifer M. Heemstra,Cynthia J. Burrows,Henry S. White +5 more
TL;DR: Key differences between A- and B-form duplex unzipping are identified that will be important in the design of future probe-based methods for detecting DNA or RNA.
