Abstract

SUMMARY: BioEditor is an application to enable scientists and educators to prepare and present structure annotations containing formatted text, graphics, sequence data, and interactive molecular views. It is intended to bridge the gap between printed journal articles and Internet presentation formats. BioEditor is relevant in the era of structural genomics, where annotation and publication could become the rate determining step in structure determination. AVAILABILITY: BioEditor is available at http://bioeditor.sdsc.edu. The Web site includes the latest version of the software for Microsoft Windows, including documentation, the opportunity to submit bug reports and suggestions, example documentaries prepared with BioEditor and a repository where users can submit documentaries for posting to the site.

Observation of polymer conformation hysteresis in extensional flow.

Highly extensible Escherichia coli DNA molecules in planar extensional flow were visualized in dilute solution by fluorescence microscopy. For a narrow range of flow strengths, the molecules were found in either a coiled or highly extended conformation, depending on the deformation history of the polymer. This conformation hysteresis persists for many polymer relaxation times and is due to conformation-dependent hydrodynamic forces. Polymer conformational free-energy landscapes were calculated from computer simulations and show two free-energy minima for flow strengths near the coil-stretch transition. Hysteresis cycles may directly influence bulk-solution stresses and the development of stress-strain relations for dilute polymer flows.

Rigid polymerics: the future of oligonucleotide analysis and purification.

A family of rigid macroporous HPLC materials, reversed phase and anion exchange, has been evaluated for the analysis and purification of a range of de-protected, dimethoxytrityl-off, oligonucleotides. A 25-base pair (bp) double-stranded DNA ladder was used to determine the resolving range for the four pore sizes of reversed-phase media. The 100 A pore size resolves up to 50-75 bp, the 300 A up to 250-300 bp, the 1000 A up to 400-450 bp and the 4000 A pore size is capable of resolving in excess of 500 bp. The dynamic capacity of these four pore sizes was also determined using a synthetic oligonucleotide with two ion-pairing agents at ambient and 60 degrees C. The dynamic capacity was shown to decrease with increasing pore size and that with the triethylammonium acetate ion-pairing agent there was negligible temperature dependency. The dynamic capacity was higher when tetrabutylammonium bromide was used at elevated temperature. A strong anion-exchange functionality on a pH-stable polymeric particle was used to investigate the selectivity and resolution of the technique. Using a poly-T-oligonucleotide size standard, resolution of full length oligonucleotide (n) from the truncated species due to coupling failure (n-1, n-2, etc.) was demonstrated up to at least the 30mer. Resolution of a phospho diester contaminant from a phospho thioate oligonucleotide and a truncated sequence was demonstrated using anion-exchange HPLC at high pH.

A revolution in optical manipulation.

Optical tweezers use the forces exerted by a strongly focused beam of light to trap and move objects ranging in size from tens of nanometres to tens of micrometres. Since their introduction in 1986, the optical tweezer has become an important tool for research in the fields of biology, physical chemistry and soft condensed matter physics. Recent advances promise to take optical tweezers out of the laboratory and into the mainstream of manufacturing and diagnostics; they may even become consumer products. The next generation of single-beam optical traps offers revolutionary new opportunities for fundamental and applied research.
