Laan, A.C. (author), Santini, C. (author), Jennings, L. (author), De Jong, M. (author), Bernsen, M.R. (author), Denkova, A.G. (author)Background Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is an indispensable tool in the determination of the in vivo fate of polymeric micelles. However, for this purpose, the micelles need to be radiolabeled, and almost all radiolabeling procedures published to date involve the conjugation of a chelating agent to the constituting polymer,...journal article 2016

Vlijm, R. (author), Torre, J. (author), Dekker, C. (author)The metabolism of DNA in cells relies on the balance between hybridized double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and local de-hybridized regions of ssDNA that provide access to binding proteins. Traditional melting experiments, in which short pieces of dsDNA are heated up until the point of melting into ssDNA, have determined that AT-rich sequences have a...journal article 2015

Vlijm, R. (author), Lee, M. (author), Ordu, O. (author), Boltengagen, A. (author), Lusser, A. (author), Dekker, N.H. (author), Dekker, C. (author)Eukaryotic nucleosomes consists of an (H3-H4)2 tetramer and two H2A-H2B dimers, around which 147 bp of DNA are wrapped in 1.7 left-handed helical turns. During chromatin assembly, the (H3-H4)2 tetramer binds first, forming a tetrasome that likely constitutes an important intermediate during ongoing transcription. We recently showed that (H3-H4)2...journal article 2015
