Multiplex DNA methylation and glycosylation are ubiquitous in the human body to ensure the normal function and stability of the genome. The methyltransferases and glycosylases rely on varied enzymes with different action mechanism, which still remain...
Carboxylic acids have been efficiently used to activate HO to form even more potent oxidant-peroxy acids through enzyme-catalyzed processes. By employing acetic acid as the activator, herein we report for the first time that cofactor-free DNA display...
DNA methyltransferase (MTase) plays an important role in many biological processes and has been recognized as a predictive cancer biomarker far before other signs of malignancy and a therapeutic target in cancer treatment. Thus simple and sensitive d...
Sensitive and accurate detection of uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) activity is available for evaluating and validating their function in uracil base-excision repair (UBER) pathway and clinical diagnosis. Here, a sensitive and accurate method for UDG ac...
Impaired sulfatide catabolism is the primary biochemical insult in patients with the inherited neurodegenerative disease, metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), and sulfatide elevation in body fluids is useful in the diagnostic setting. Here we used mas...
Sensitive and reliable detection of DNA methyltransferase (MTase) is of great significance for both early tumor diagnosis and therapy. In this study, a simple, label-free and sensitive DNA MTase-sensing method was developed on the basis of a nicking ...
A fully automatized robotic platform has been established to facilitate high-throughput screening for protein engineering purposes. This platform enables proper monitoring and control of growth conditions in the microtiter plate format to ensure prec...
