Abstract
Here, we describe the applicability of a variety of functionalized magnetic beads (MBs) for DNA extraction under different lysis conditions. Various MBs, including hydroxyl, carboxylic, amino, chitosan-modified, and streptomycin-modified MBs (MBs-STR), were compared based on their extracted DNA quantity and quality. The results presented that the MBs exhibited different DNA adsorption capacities under specific conditions. Notably, MBs-STR maintained stable DNA adsorption capacity upon different conditions through a non-intercalative binding mechanism between STR and DNA minor groove. This discovery advances antibiotic-based DNA extraction strategies, offering a flexible, efficient alternative for biomedical applications while enriching the toolkit for nucleic acid isolation.
期刊介绍:
The journal''s title Analytical Biochemistry: Methods in the Biological Sciences declares its broad scope: methods for the basic biological sciences that include biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology, proteomics, immunology, bioinformatics and wherever the frontiers of research take the field.
The emphasis is on methods from the strictly analytical to the more preparative that would include novel approaches to protein purification as well as improvements in cell and organ culture. The actual techniques are equally inclusive ranging from aptamers to zymology.
The journal has been particularly active in:
-Analytical techniques for biological molecules-
Aptamer selection and utilization-
Biosensors-
Chromatography-
Cloning, sequencing and mutagenesis-
Electrochemical methods-
Electrophoresis-
Enzyme characterization methods-
Immunological approaches-
Mass spectrometry of proteins and nucleic acids-
Metabolomics-
Nano level techniques-
Optical spectroscopy in all its forms.
The journal is reluctant to include most drug and strictly clinical studies as there are more suitable publication platforms for these types of papers.
