Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Ligand-Gated Ion Channel Receptor: Gating Mechanism

Ligand-Gated Ion Channel Receptor: Gating Mechanism

Ligand-gated ion channels are transmembrane proteins that play a vital role in intercellular communication and functions of the nervous system. They allow the influx of ions across the membrane once the neurotransmitter binds, allowing the subsequent transmission of electrical excitation across the neurons. Other ligand-gated ion channels, like the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor, permit anions like chloride into the cells on the binding of the GABA molecule. Their entry into the cell...

To construct pH-responsive logic gates utilizing the conformational changes of the RDTS.
To enable 'AND' and 'OR' logic calculations with fewer substrates, improving circuit extensibility.

Main Methods:

Design and synthesis of a reconfigurable DNA triplex structure (RDTS).
Construction of pH-responsive logic gates based on RDTS conformational changes.
Implementation of 'AND' and 'OR' logic operations using the developed system.

Main Results:

The RDTS enables the construction of pH-responsive logic gates.
The new logic gates successfully perform 'AND' and 'OR' calculations.
Fewer substrates are required compared to existing triplex logic gates, enhancing circuit extensibility.

Conclusions:

The developed reconfigurable DNA triplex structure (RDTS) simplifies logic gate design.
This advancement facilitates the construction of more extensive molecular computing circuits.
The RDTS is expected to drive progress in DNA-based molecular computing and large-scale networks.
