Novel fluorescent probe for real-time imaging of nascent DNA in live cells
Novel 2′-deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP) nucleotide modified with a thiazole orange fluorophore can be incorporated into DNA strand by DNA polymerases in vitro as well as in live cells.
Scientists continue to push the boundaries of imaging techniques and reveal the mysterious world of molecules
Scientists from the IOCB Prague, the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and Palacký University Olomouc, have successfully uncovered the mysteries of the world of molecules and atoms.
Insight into the nucleosome recognition mechanisms
Scientists from IOCB Prague, Charles University, CEITEC, the Institute of Microbiology, and the University of Cologne studied the chromatin reader LEDGF and its association with methylated histone H3K36.
Scientists from IOCB Prague have improved materials for reconstructive and plastic surgery
Researchers from IOCB Prague and Ghent University have been working on improving the properties of gelatin-based materials, thereby expanding the possibilities of their use mainly in medicine.
What are the minimal folding seeds in proteins?
The scientists identified several tripeptides, which could be considered as folding seeds and might initiate the process of protein folding.
Surface-mounted regular arrays of fullerene-based molecular rotors
Scientists from IOCB Prague, the University of Colorado, and the University of Oxford prepared an array composed of a unique type of fullerene-based molecular rotors with a relatively high dipole moment.
Unique molecular CODE – Paramagnetic encoding of molecules
The principle of molecular coding created by Miloslav Polášek and his team at the IOCB Prague represents a new method on the border between the world of chemistry and modern technologies.
IOCB Prague to contribute to a European project on the digitization of human body odors
The SMELLODI project aims to create the prerequisites for the digitalization of human body odor. In the future, this could expand the possibilities of diagnosis or health monitoring.
