Recently, the paper “Two distinct conformational states define the interaction of human RAD51-ATP with single-stranded DNA" has been published in The EMBO Journal. Congratulations to Dr. Ineke Brouwer and all co-authors! Brouwer et al. combined Correlative Optical Tweezers-Fluorescence Microscopy (CTFM) with X-ray crystallography to investigate the function of human RAD51…

The journal Nucleic Acids Research has recently published the paper "Pausing kinetics dominates strand-displacement polymerization by reverse transcriptase". We would like to congratulate the authors! Malik et al. (2017) used optical tweezers and, among other technologies, microfluidics to study the enzymatic activity of the murine leukemia Virus reverse transcriptase (RT). RT catalyzes the formation of an integration-competent double-stranded DNA…
