Evaluation of microbial qPCR workflows using engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae

January 24, 2016
Author(s)
Sandra M. Da Silva, Lindsay Harris, Nathanael David Olson, Steven Lund, Autumn S. Downey, Zvi Kelman, Marc L. Salit, Jayne D. Morrow
Aims: We describe the development and interlaboratory study of modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a candidate material to evaluate a full detection workflow including DNA extraction and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Methods and results

Protein labeling in Escherichia coli with 2H, 13C and 15N

August 23, 2015
Author(s)
Zvi Kelman, Prasad T. Reddy
A number of structural biology techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) can be performed with proteins with nuclei at natural isotope abundance. However, the use of proteins labeled with heavy isotopes

Isotopic Labeling of Proteins in Halobacterium salinarum

August 4, 2015
Author(s)
Thomas E. Cleveland, Zvi Kelman
It is often necessary to obtain isotopically labeled proteins containing 15N, 13C or 2H for NMR; and 2H for small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) or neutron diffraction studies. To achieve uniform isotopic labeling, protein expression is most commonly

Archaeal DNA replication

November 3, 2014
Author(s)
Zvi Kelman, Lori M. Kelman
DNA replication is an essential process for all life forms. While the process is fundamentally conserved in the three domains of life, bioinformatics, biochemical, structural and genetic studies have demonstrated that the process and the proteins involved

A Novel Mechanism for Regulating the Activity of Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen by a Small Protein

March 10, 2014
Author(s)
Zvi Kelman, Richard Y. Huang, Zhuo Li, Jerard Hurwitz, Santangelo J. Thomas, Travis H. Hileman, Yopp C. Daniel, Jeffrey W. Hudgens
Chromosomal DNA replication requires the regulated activity of large number of proteins and complexes. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) protein forms a homotrimeric ring that associates with, and regulates the activity of, many proteins

Thermococcus kodakarensis DNA replication

February 2, 2013
Author(s)
Zvi Kelman, Lori Kelman, Zhuo Li
DNA replication plays an essential role in all life forms. Research on archaeal DNA replication began about twenty years ago. Progress was hindered, however, by the lack of genetic tools to supplement the biochemical and structural studies. This has

Formation of dAMP-glycerol and dAMP-Tris derivatives by the Thermococcus kodakaraensis DNA primase

May 11, 2012
Author(s)
Zvi Kelman, John P. Marino, Jerard Hurwitz, Wiebke Chemnitz Galal, Miao Pan, Gary Giulian, Wei Yuan, Shuwei Li
In the presence of dATP, glycerol and Tris buffer, the DNA primase isolated from Thermococcus kodakaraensis (Tk) catalyzed the formation of two products that were identified as dAMP-glycerol and dAMP-Tris. These products were formed by the Tk p41 catalytic
