Degradons: target proteins for degradation without ubiquitination
Problem Targeting specific proteins for degradation is an area of intense research for the treatment of disease. The majority of currently available technologies, such as PROTACs, induce degradation through ubiquitination of target proteins by binding to both the target protein and ubiquitin ligases. However, this requires a ubiquitin ligase to efficiently...
­Low-cost fluorescent reporters for nuclease activity detection
Problem DNA cleavage or nuclease activity detection is important in many forms of nucleic acid amplification tests. The current detection technologies rely on the use of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) reporters that light up upon digestion, such as the Taqman® probe and the DNaseAlert®. Although these FRET reporters well serve...
