Bioinformatics and Systems Biology: At the Crossroads of Biology, Engineering, and Computation
Online Presentations | 08 Oct 2004 | Contributor(s):: Shankar Subramaniam
Traditional biological research has relied on a "deconstructive" mode where piece-wise analysis of the components of complex systems was carried out in detail. The genome projects have spurred the discovery of new genes/molecules to add to the existing inventory of "parts" that make up living...

Construction of an Imitating Nano-motor Driven by Six ATP-binding RNAs of Bacterial Virus phi29
Online Presentations | 02 Dec 2004 | Contributor(s):: Peixuan Guo
A switchable imitating DNA-packaging motor was constructed in the laboratory. The motor is driven by six synthetic ATP-binding pRNA (packaging RNA) molecules that bind to the connector and function in a manner similar to the driving of a bolt with a hex nut. Conformational change and sequential...
