Journal ArticleDOI

Microfluidic droplets: new integrated workflows for biological experiments.

TL;DR: The emerging experimental format makes possible a quantitative readout for large numbers of experiments with a precision comparable to the macroscopic scale, which provides the basis for the design of more complex workflows to address biological challenges.
Journal ArticleDOI

A fully unsupervised compartment-on-demand platform for precise nanoliter assays of time-dependent steady-state enzyme kinetics and inhibition.

TL;DR: The ability to miniaturize biochemical assays in water-in-oil emulsion droplets allows a massive scale-down of reaction volumes, so that high-throughput experimentation can be performed more economically and more efficiently.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular recognition of DNA by rigid [N]-polynorbornane-derived bifunctional intercalators: synthesis and evaluation of their binding properties.

TL;DR: The concept of multivalency is exploited in the context of DNA recognition, using novel chemistry to synthesize a new type of bis-intercalator with unusual sequence-selectivity and 9-aminoacridine rings were preferred over acridine carboxamides or naphthalimides.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyethylene imine derivatives ('synzymes') accelerate phosphate transfer in the absence of metal

TL;DR: systematic derivatization of polyethylene imine with alkyl (C(2)-C(12)), benzyl, and guanidinium groups gives rise to catalysts ('synzymes') with rate accelerations of up to 10(4) for the intramolecular transesterification of 2-hydroxypropyl-p-nitrophenyl phosphate, HPNP, in the absence of metal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interfacing microwells with nanoliter compartments: a sampler generating high-resolution concentration gradients for quantitative biochemical analyses in droplets.

TL;DR: This work addresses the challenge of producing microfluidic-based concentration gradients in a way that every droplet represents one unique reagent combination by presenting a simple microcapillary technique able to generate series of monodisperse water-in-oil droplets from a sample presented in an open well.
