Genome-wide analysis of a G-quadruplex-specific single-chain antibody that regulates gene expression (2009)

Fernando, Himesh, Sewitz, Sven, Darot, Jeremy, Tavaré, Simon, Huppert, Julian Leon, Balasubramanian, Shankar

G-quadruplex nucleic acids have been proposed to play a role in a number of fundamental biological processes that include transcription and translation. We have developed a single-chain antibody that...

Accurate whole human genome sequencing using reversible terminator chemistry (2008)

Bentley, David R., Balasubramanian, Shankar, Swerdlow, Harold P., Smith, Geoffrey P., Milton, John, Brown, Clive G., ...

DNA sequence information underpins genetic research, enabling discoveries of important biological or medical benefit. Sequencing projects have traditionally used long (400-800 base pair) reads, but...

Strong antimicrobial coatings: single-walled carbon nanotubes armored with biopolymers. (2008)

Nepal, Dhriti, Balasubramanian, Shankar, Simonian, Aleksandr L., Davis, Virginia A.

Large scale biomimetic single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) coatings with significant antimicrobial activity, high Young's Modulus, and controlled morphology were fabricated using layer-by-layer...

G-quadruplexes: the beginning and end of UTRs (2008)

Huppert, Julian Leon, Bugaut, Anthony, Kumari, Sunita, Balasubramanian, Shankar

Molecular mechanisms that regulate gene expression can occur either before or after transcription. The information for post-transcriptional regulation can lie within the sequence or structure of the...

Enzyme-Encapsulated Silica Monolayers for Rapid Functionalization of a Gold Surface PREPRINT (2007)

Luckarift, Heather R., Johnson, Glenn R., Balasubramanian, Shankar, Paliwal, Sheetal, Simonian, Aleksandr L.

We report a simple and rapid method for the deposition of amorphous silica onto a gold surface. The method is based on the ability of lysozyme to mediate the formation of silica nanoparticles. A...

Nanoscale Organization in Room Temperature Ionic Liquids: A Coarse Grained Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study. (2007)

Bhargava, B. L., Devane, R, Klein, M. L., Balasubramanian, Shankar

A model to perform coarse grained molecular dynamics simulations of room temperature ionic liquids of the family 1-n-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate has been developed. Large scale...

G-quadruplexes in promoters throughout the human genome (2007)

Huppert, Julian L., Balasubramanian, Shankar

Certain G-rich DNA sequences readily form four-stranded structures called G-quadruplexes. These sequence motifs are located in telomeres as a repeated unit, and elsewhere in the genome, where their...

Prevalence of quadruplexes in the human genome (2005)

Huppert, Julian L., Balasubramanian, Shankar

Guanine-rich DNA sequences of a particular form have the ability to fold into four-stranded structures called G-quadruplexes. In this paper, we present a working rule to predict which primary...

Identification of a new RNA{middle dot}RNA interaction site for human telomerase RNA (hTR): structural implications for hTR accumulation and a dyskeratosis congenita point mutation (2003)

Ren, Xiaojun, Gavory, Gérald, Li, Haitao, Ying, Liming, Klenerman, David, Balasubramanian, Shankar

The enzyme telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein that has a critical role in the maintenance of stable telomeres in organisms that possess linear chromosomes. Using a recently developed single molecule...

G-quadruplex-specific peptide-hemicyanine ligands by partial combinatorial selection (2003)

Schouten, James A., Ladame, Sylvain, Mason, Stephen J., Cooper, Matthew A., Balasubramanian, Shankar

G-quadruplex DNA-specific ligands were generated using a combinatorial selection of tetrapeptides which were then conjugated to a hemicyanine scaffold. The heterocycle enhanced peptide binding...

Minimum length requirement of the alignment domain of human telomerase RNA to sustain catalytic activity in vitro (2002)

Gavory, Gérald, Farrow, Mark, Balasubramanian, Shankar

Telomeres are essential for genomic stability and cell viability. Telomerase, the enzyme responsible for telomere maintenance, is composed of a reverse transcriptase protein subunit and an integral...

Non-Arrhenius kinetics for the loop closure of a DNA hairpin

Wallace, Mark I., Ying, Liming, Balasubramanian, Shankar, Klenerman, David

Intramolecular chain diffusion is an elementary process in the conformational fluctuations of the DNA hairpin-loop. We have studied the temperature and viscosity dependence of a model DNA...
