摘要:
Processes are disclosed using the depolymerization of a nucleic acid hybrid to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze for the presence of a predetermined nucleic acid. Applications of those processes include the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms, identification of single base changes, speciation, determination of viral load, genotyping, medical marker diagnostics, and the like.
摘要:
The present invention provides compounds and methods for assaying redox state of metabolically active cells and methods for assaying enzyme activity and/or metabolite level by coupling to redox defining co-factor NAD(P)/NAD(P)H measurement.
摘要:
Methods for protecting RNA from RNase degradation and for inactivating RNases in solution are disclosed. The invention includes methods for protecting RNA during storage, for performing quantitative PCR reactions, or for preparing cDNA. The method includes using a combination of an RNase inhibitor in a solution containing or devoid of reducing agents and high heat to render RNases inactive.

The invention includes methods for protecting RNA during storage, for performing quantitative PCR reactions, or for preparing cDNA. The method includes using a combination of an RNase inhibitor and high heat to render RNases inactive, even after the RNase inhibitor has been denatured by heating.
摘要:
A method to detect the presence or amount of at least one molecule in a sample which employs a derivative of luciferin or a derivative of a fluorophore is provided.
摘要:
The invention provides methods that employ derivatives of 2-cyano-6-hydroxy- or 2-cyano-6-amino-benzothiazole, for example, in a bioluminogenic reaction. Also provided are novel compounds that can be used in the methods. The invention further provides methods for detecting or determining the presence of molecules and/or enzymes, the modulator activity of such molecules, and/or the activity of such enzymes. The methods are adaptable to high-throughput format.
摘要:
Solutions containing nucleic acids are treated with an alkaline protease to digest proteins such as nucleases that degrade the nucleic acids. In the isolation of nucleic acids, a biological sample containing nucleic acids is suspended in a solution containing water, buffer and chelating agent, the pH of the solution is adjusted to at least about 10 by adding a solution of sodium hydroxide and anionic detergent, an alkaline protease is incubated in the solution until nucleases are degraded, the pH of the solution is lowered to reduce activity of the alkaline protease by adding a solution having a pH between 3.5 and 4.5 and the alkaline protease is heat inactivated. Lowering of the pH may produce a cloudy solution which is cleared by centrifuging. Nucleic acids are isolated from the cleared solution by alcohol precipitation, or by using paramagnetic particles or a resin matrix containing silica particles. A chaotropic salt can be used to reversibly bind DNA to the resin matrix.
