MeSH headings : DNA / biosynthesis; DNA / chemistry; DNA Polymerase III / metabolism; G-Quadruplexes; Humans; Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid; Telomere / metabolism; Templates, Genetic
TL;DR: It is suggested that an alternative mechanism, in addition to stable G4s, contributes to replication stalling at telomeres and is provided evidence that G4 folding is less stable on single-stranded circular TTAGGG templates where ends are constrained, compared with linear oligonucleotides.

TRF1 and TRF2 use different mechanisms to find telomeric DNA but share a novel mechanism to search for protein partners at telomeres

NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH, 42(4), 2493–2504.

By: J. Lin n, P. Countryman n, N. Buncher  n, P. Kaur n, E. Longjiang  n, Y. Zhang n, G. Gibson  n, C. You  n ...

MeSH headings : DNA / chemistry; DNA / metabolism; Diffusion; Protein Binding; Protein Structure, Tertiary; Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid; Telomere / chemistry; Telomere / metabolism; Telomeric Repeat Binding Protein 1 / metabolism; Telomeric Repeat Binding Protein 2 / chemistry; Telomeric Repeat Binding Protein 2 / metabolism
TL;DR: It is proposed that the TRF proteins use 1D sliding to find protein partners and assemble the shelterin complex, which in turn stabilizes the interaction with specific telomeric DNA. (via Semantic Scholar)

Antibody-Unfolding and Metastable-State Binding in Force Spectroscopy and Recognition Imaging

Biophysical Journal, 100(1), 243–250.

By: P. Kaur*, Qiang-Fu, A. Fuhrmann*, R. Ros *, L. Kutner*, L. Schneeweis *, R. Navoa*, K. Steger* ...

MeSH headings : Humans; Imaging, Three-Dimensional / methods; Immunoglobulin G / chemistry; Immunoglobulin G / metabolism; Kinetics; Protein Binding; Protein Conformation; Protein Unfolding; Spectrum Analysis / methods
TL;DR: Recognition imaging is nonetheless a powerful tool for interpreting complex atomic force microscopy images, so long as specificity is calibrated in situ, and not inferred from equilibrium binding kinetics. (via Semantic Scholar)
