Mechanical Properties of RNA-DNA Hybrid Duplex by Magnetic tweezers (MT) (CAT#: STEM-MB-1253-WXH)

Name: Mechanical Properties of RNA-DNA Hybrid Duplex by Magnetic tweezers (MT)
SKU: STEM-MB-1253-WXH
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

Introduction

RNA can anneal to its DNA template to generate an RNA-DNA hybrid (RDH) duplex and a displaced DNA strand, termed R-loop. RDH duplex occupies up to 5% of the mammalian genome and plays important roles in many biological processes. The functions of RDH duplex are affected by its mechanical properties, including the elasticity and the conformation transitions.

Principle

Magnetic tweezers (MT) are scientific instruments for the manipulation and characterization of biomolecules or polymers. These apparatus exert forces and torques to individual molecules or groups of molecules. It can be used to measure the tensile strength or the force generated by molecules.

Applications

Study of mechanical properties of biological macromolecules like DNA or proteins in single-molecule experiments.
Study of the rheology of soft matter.
Study of force-regulated processes in living cells.
