Analysis of the surface of the crystallographic models of most proteins should target at least one surface residue whose replacement would substantially increase the stability of the protein.... Unfortunately, most enzymes do not presently have a crystallographic model available for identification of one or more residues having exposed apolar side chains.... For investigators having neither a crystallographic model of the enzyme of interests or a facility for obtaining and engineering the structural gene, use of a cross-linking reagent is recommended to increase stability. This approach is based on diminishing the polypeptide entropy that is the principal thermodynamic quantity stabilizing the denatured form. 2, record 1, English, - crystallographic%20model

Le plan de projection en deux dimensions, dans lequel les structures des molécules organiques sont nécessairement dessinées sur une page imprimée, est tout à fait insuffisant pour décrire la vraie configuration tridimensionnelle des biomolécules. La configuration de chaque molécule dans l'espace peut être représentée par l'utilisation de modèles atomiques qui sont de deux types. Les modèles cristallographiques montrent les squelettes covalents et les angles de liaisons et leurs dimensions, mais n'indiquent pas l'espace occupé réellement par la molécule. Les modèles compacts, par contre, donnent plus de détails en ce qui concerne les angles de liaisons et les distances dans le squelette covalentiel, mais ne montrent pas les contours de van der Waals ou la surface des molécules. 1, record 1, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20cristallographique

In a process called "molecular combing", DNA molecules attached at one end to a solid surface were extended and aligned by a receding air-water interface and left to dry on the surface. Molecular combing was observed to extend the length of the bacteriophage Lambda DNA molecule to 21.5+/-0.5 micrometers (unextended length, 16.2 micrometers). 1, record 2, English, - molecular%20combing

With the combing process, it was possible to :(i) extend a chromosomal Escherichia coli DNA fragment(10^6 base pairs) and(ii) detect a minute quantity of DNA(10^3 molecules). These results open the way for a faster physical mapping of the genome and for the detection of small quantities of target DNA from a population of molecules. 1, record 2, English, - molecular%20combing

Le peignage moléculaire de l'ADN, découvert en 1994, repose sur deux principes simples : l'ancrage spécifique, dans des conditions physico-chimiques précises, de molécules individuelles d'ADN par leurs extrémités sur des surfaces traitées ou non; la force de traction développée par un ménisque en mouvement; c'est-à-dire la force exercée sur tout objet placée sur la ligne de contact d'une solution avec une surface, lors du déplacement de cette ligne. 3, record 2, French, - peignage%20mol%C3%A9culaire
