Pour en isoler l'ADN, l'échantillon subit solubilisation, centrifugation et précipitation par de l'alcool. Le fragment d'ADN constitutif du transgène recherché est alors sélectivement amplifié, c'est-à-dire répliqué en de nombreux exemplaires. [...] on sépare les deux brins formant l'ADN par chauffage [...] puis on introduit dans le milieu de travail des amorces, qui sont les morceaux d'ADN encadrant le transgène. On ajoute aussi une enzyme, par exemple la Taq-polymérase, qui va, à partir des bases placées en excès dans le milieu, fabriquer le brin complémentaire d'ADN.

The objective of the research is to make use of the self-assembly and metal-binding properties of a biological nanostructure, the TMV [Tobacco Mosaic Virus], in the development of novel functional materials and fabrication processes for energy microsystems applications. The TMV is a high aspect ratio cylindrical plant virus that can be genetically engineered to include amino acids with enhanced metal-binding properties. These genetic modifications facilitate electroless plating of the molecules as well as self-assembly onto various substrates. The developed processes will be incorporated in the fabrication of new, nanostructured small-scale energy storage devices. 2, record 2, English, - biological%20nanostructure

El ADN-A aparece en condiciones de humedad escasa y menor temperatura que la forma ADN-B. Se trata de una doble hélice dextrógira, al igual que el ADN-B, con un surco menor poco profundo y un poco más amplio que el surco mayor, que es más profundo. En comparación a la doble hélice del ADN-B, ésta es más abierta, tiene mayor diámetro y una disposición de las bases nitrogenadas más alejada del eje de la hélice. 1, record 10, Spanish, - ADN%2DA

Hebra que, debido a la naturaleza antiparalela de la doble hélice, se sintetiza de forma continua y, por consiguiente, más rápido que la [hebra retrasada], en la misma dirección en que avanza la horquilla de replicación. 4, record 11, Spanish, - cadena%20adelantada

Dado que las cadenas del ADN son antiparalelas, y que la replicación procede solo en la dirección 5’ a 3’ en ambas cadenas, numerosos experimentos mostraron que, una cadena formará una copia continua, mientras que en la otra se formarán una serie de fragmentos cortos conocidos como fragmentos de Okazaki. La cadena que se sintetiza de manera continua se conoce como cadena adelantada y, la que se sintetiza en fragmentos, cadena atrasada. 6, record 11, Spanish, - cadena%20adelantada
