    摘要: The present invention provides a synthetic, modular system for DNA modification as may be employed for genome editing comprising a targeting nucleic acid possessing both DNA targeting ability and ability to bind a recognition module of a modular polypeptide component, where the modular polypeptide component also includes an effector component and a short peptide DNA-binding sequence (DBD) which binds a pre-determined sequence (PBS) in the target. The DBD may preferably be no more than a 15 mer and serves to destabilize the structure of a targeted dsDNA upon binding thereby facilitating the desired DNA modification. The effector component may, for example, be an artificial nickase comprising linked self-assembling peptides thereby providing a complete genome-editing system of advantageous small size for vector delivery to cells.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods of a method of making a nanostructure, comprising adding a component A (compA) protein to a solution comprising a component B (compB) protein under conditions that minimize shear stress, thereby forming a compA:compB complex. Further disclosed are methods of making a nanostructure, comprising (i) providing a first inlet fluid stream comprising a first protein and a second inlet fluid stream comprising a second protein, and (ii) contacting the first inlet fluid stream and the second inlet fluid stream to form an outlet stream, wherein mixing of the first protein and the second protein occurs in the outlet stream, thereby forming a protein complex comprises the first protein and the second protein. A microfluidic mixer may be used. The methods may further comprise purifying the compA:compB complex from excess compA, excess compB, and/or other impurities by filtering the solution with a 1,000 kDa membrane or an equivalent thereof.
