RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

10.5K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

DNA Isolation01:24

DNA Isolation

41.5K
DNA isolation protocols can be fast and straightforward or complex and time-consuming depending on the type and quality of DNA required for further processing. For example, plasmid DNA extraction is a bit more complicated than genomic DNA extraction because of the need for an appropriate lysis method to separate plasmid DNA from gDNA during isolation. However, for specific applications, such as long-range DNA sequencing that require a good yield of high- quality DNA samples, we need to follow...

Single-Strand DNA Binding Proteins

15.2K
For successful DNA replication, the unwinding of double-stranded DNA must be accompanied by stabilization and protection of the separated single strands of the DNA. This crucial task is performed by single-strand DNA-binding (SSB) proteins. They bind to the DNA in a sequence-independent manner, which means that the nitrogenous bases of the DNA need not be present in a specific order for binding of SSB proteins to it. The binding of SSB proteins straightens single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and makes...

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology
  • Drug Discovery Technology

Background:

  • DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology is a powerful high-throughput screening platform for drug discovery.
  • Current DELs predominantly use double-stranded DNA tags (dsDELs), limiting their compatibility with advanced selection techniques.
  • Emerging selection methods, like cross-linking and live-cell selections, necessitate single-stranded DNA tags (ssDELs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a straightforward method for converting existing dsDELs into ssDELs.
  • To enable the use of dsDELs in newer, more demanding selection assays without library redesign.
  • To expand the applicability of DEL technology in drug discovery and biological research.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized exonuclease digestion to convert dsDELs to ssDELs.
  • Performed affinity-based selections using the converted ssDELs.
  • Tested selections with purified proteins and on live cells.

Main Results:

  • Successfully demonstrated efficient conversion of dsDELs to ssDELs.
  • Validated the utility of ssDELs derived from dsDELs in affinity-based selections.
  • Showcased successful selection outcomes using both purified targets and live-cell systems.

Conclusions:

  • The exonuclease digestion method provides a simple and effective way to generate ssDELs from dsDELs.
  • This approach broadens the compatibility of DELs with advanced selection strategies, including live-cell applications.
  • The method facilitates broader adoption and application of DEL technology in drug discovery and research.
