3 Prime End

The 3 prime end is the terminus of a DNA or RNA strand containing the sugar’s third carbon, typically bearing a free hydroxyl group that determines how nucleic acids are extended and processed. During synthesis, DNA and RNA polymerases add nucleotides to this 3 prime hydroxyl, producing strands in the 5 prime-to-3 prime direction; enzymes can also modify the end through cleavage, polyadenylation, or other processing events. In biology, 3 prime ends are essential for replication, transcription, RNA maturation, and molecular techniques such as PCR and sequencing. Their structure and modification influence gene expression, transcript stability, and accurate analysis of genetic material.

Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University Human memory seems to work in two broad ways. Like modern computers, the human mind has explicit, or declarative, memory: ask a question, and a person gives the best answer they can. Input a query, and a computer program returns the contents of the relevant parts of its stored memory. Humans also have a second kind of memory system, one not really typical of computers, one that experimental psychologists call implicit. Implicit...

2017

The therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) is well-documented, however the best method of preparing the cells for patients remains controversial. Herein, we communicate protocols to efficiently generate and administer therapeutic spherical aggregates or 'spheroids' of MSCs primed under xeno-free conditions for experimental and clinical applications.

This technique provides a method to harvest, normalize and quantify intracellular growth of bacterial pathogens that are pre-cultivated in natural protozoan host cells prior to infections of mammalian cells. This method can be modified to accommodate a wide variety of host cells for the priming stage as well as target cell types.

Luminescent identification of functional elements in 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTRs) (3’LIFE) is a technique to identify functional regulation in 3’UTRs by miRNAs or other regulatory factors. This protocol utilizes high-throughput methodology such as 96-well transfection and luciferase assays to screen hundreds of putative interactions for functional repression.
