Transcription initiation is the crucial focal point of gene expression in prokaryotes. The key
players in this process, sigma factors (σs), associate with the catalytic core RNA polymerase …

Fractional dynamics has experienced a firm upswing during the past few years, having been
forged into a mature framework in the theory of stochastic processes. A large number of …

A number of isothermal DNA amplification technologies claim to be ideal for point-of-need
(PON) applications as they enable reactions to be performed using a single-temperature …

Single-molecule measurements of biomolecules can provide information about the
molecular interactions and kinetics that are hidden in ensemble measurements. However …

DNA is not only an essential object of study for biologists—it also raises very interesting
questions for physicists. This paper discuss its nonlinear dynamics, its statistical mechanics …

I review single-molecule experiments (SMEs) in biological physics. Recent technological
developments have provided the tools to design and build scientific instruments of high …

Catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) is an enzyme-free amplification method that has
previously proven useful in amplifying and transducing signals at the terminus of nucleic …

Self‐destructive polymers (SDPs) are defined as a class of smart polymers that
autonomously degrade upon experiencing an external trigger, such as a chemical cue or …

The coding sequences for genes, and much other regulatory information involved in
genome expression, are located 'inside'the DNA duplex. Thus the “macromolecular …

Coarse-grain (CG) techniques allow considerable extension of the accessible size and time
scales in simulations of biological systems. Although many CG representations are available …
