TLDR
Preliminary observations on RNA polymerase attached to DNA suggest that the internal structures of the protein may be observed and that the enzyme is probably attached asymmetrically to the DNA.

Peptide nucleic acids

TL;DR: A peptide nucleic acid (PNA) as discussed by the authors is a class of compounds that can bind complementary ssDNA and RNA strands more strongly than a corresponding DNA, and it can be used to attach DNA bases to a peptide backbone through a suitable linker.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electron microscopic and biochemical evidence that chromatin structure is a repeating unit

TL;DR: Electron microscopic and biochemical studies demonstrate that the fundamental structure of chromatin depleted of lysine-rich histones is composed of a flexible chain of spherical particles (nucleosomes), about 125 A in diameter, connected by DNA filaments, suggesting that histone F1 is involved in the superpacking of DNA in chromosomes and nuclei.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proximity-Induced Superconductivity in DNA

TL;DR: Results imply that DNA molecules can be conducting down to millikelvin temperature and that phase coherence is maintained over several hundred nanometers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dependence of α-synuclein aggregate morphology on solution conditions

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the morphology of a-synuclein aggregates is highly sensitive to solution conditions, implying that the fibrillar state does not necessarily represent the predominant or most functionally significant aggregated state under physiological conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a protein linked to the ends of adenovirus DNA

TL;DR: It is proposed that the protein functions during DNA replication by facilitating priming of the progeny strands, thus allowing the 5′ ends of the DNA to be replicated.

A study of the conditions and mechanism of the diphenylamine reaction for the colorimetric estimation of deoxyribonucleic acid

TL;DR: The present study arose from the observation that a more intense colour was sometimes produced if, instead of being heated at 1000 for 10 min., the reaction mixture was allowed to stand overnight at room temperature.

[125] Monolayer techniques in electron microscopy of nucleic acid molecules

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the monolayer techniques in electron microscopy of nucleic acid molecules and describes a method in which DNA or RNA of a bulk solution is transformed to a monomolecular layer, using a film of protein floated onto an aqueous solution.

Darstellung und längenmessungen des gesamten desoxyribonucleinsäure-inhaltes von T2-bakteriophagen

TL;DR: Electron micrographs of DNA macromolecules are prepared by spreading a suitable protein-salt solution with T2 phages to a mixed monolayer on a water-air interface and the first data of an average T2-DNA length of 49±4 μ are discussed in relation to the possible sources of error.
