Base Excision Repair01:54

Base Excision Repair

26.1K
One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.
The first step of...

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Fixing Double-strand Breaks

14.3K
The double-stranded structure of DNA has two major advantages. First, it serves as a safe repository of genetic information where one strand serves as the back-up in case the other strand is damaged. Second, the double-helical structure can be wrapped around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which can then be tightly wound to form chromosomes. This way, DNA chains up to 2 inches long can be contained within microscopic structures in a cell. A double-stranded break not only damages...

Definition and Measurement of Pressure: Atmospheric Pressure, Barometer, and Manometer

42.7K
Gas pressure is caused by force exerted by gas molecules colliding with the surfaces of objects. Although the force of each collision is very small, any surface of an appreciable area experiences a large number of collisions in a short time, which can result in high pressure.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Gas leakage through graphene nanodrums is primarily due to interface pathways, not the graphene itself. A new sealing method significantly reduces permeation, enabling studies of intrinsic graphene gas permeability.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Surface Science

Background:

  • Graphene is theoretically impermeable to gases, but experimental nanodrums show leaks.
  • The precise mechanism and dominant pathways for gas permeation in graphene nanodrums remain unclear.
  • Understanding gas leakage is crucial for applications requiring hermetic graphene membranes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the dominant gas leakage pathway in sealed graphene nanodrums.
  • To develop and demonstrate a method for sealing the graphene-SiO2 interface.
  • To enable the study of intrinsic gas permeability through graphene membranes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing electron beam-induced deposition to deposit silicon dioxide (SiO2) across the edges of suspended multilayer graphene flakes.
  • Implementing a sealing strategy to block gas flow along the graphene-SiO2 interface.
  • Measuring gas permeation rates before and after sealing.

Main Results:

  • The SiO2 sealing method effectively blocked gas leakage along the graphene-SiO2 interface.
  • A significant reduction in gas permeation rate by a factor of 10^4 was observed after sealing.
  • Gas flow along the graphene-SiO2 interface was identified as the dominant leakage pathway in unsealed nanodrums.

Conclusions:

  • The study demonstrates that gas permeation in graphene nanodrums is predominantly governed by interface leakage.
  • The developed sealing technique allows for the isolation and study of intrinsic gas transport through graphene.
  • This method paves the way for creating hermetic graphene membranes for advanced applications like pressure sensing.
