In this protocol, we describe the selection and preparation of appropriate cells for micromanipulation and the use of a piezoelectric micromanipulator to reposition chromosomes within those cells.
A simple and practical protocol for the efficient conjugate addition of functionalized monoorganozinc bromides to cyclic α,β-unsaturated carbonyls to furnish all-carbon quaternary centers was developed.
DNA methyltransferases are potential cancer drug targets. Here, a protocol is presented to assess small molecules for DNA methyltransferase inhibition. This assay utilizes an endonuclease to couple DNA methylation to fluorescence generation and allows for enzyme activity to be monitored in real time.
