The phrase "amount of strand" is not commonly used in written English and may not convey a clear meaning.
It could be used in contexts related to measuring or quantifying strands, such as in textiles or biology, but it may require additional context for clarity.
Example: "The amount of strand needed for this project is approximately five meters."
Alternatives: "quantity of strand" or "length of strand".
For example, Porcel et al. showed an increase in the DSB/SSB ratio in plasmid DNA when using platinum NPs with ion radiation (Porcel et al. 2010), and increased amount of strand breaks was also observed by Xiao et al. (2011) who used AuNPs irradiated by electrons.
However, unlike RecAEc, RecANg promoted a small amount of strand exchange at 3 mM Mg2.
Gene-strand skew is a parameter introduced to quantify the amount of strand bias in the distribution of genes.
The reduction in the amount of strand scission at the nucleotide would be proportional to the KIE for the hydrogen atom abstraction reaction and the fraction of overall cleavage at the nucleotide attributable to this process and are referred to here as product KIEs.
Now add a small amount of strand to this crossed over right strand and again weave.
We used a combination of methods to measure DSBs, SSBs, toxicity and H2AX phosphorylation to examine the relative amounts of strand-breaks, DNA damage signaling and cell survival.
We therefore varied the amount of capture strand and found that ∼350 picomoles of capture strand was just about saturating (Figures 2a and S2) when included in the 100-µl transcription reaction; this amount has to be optimized on a case-by-case basis.
By labelling one of the two recombining strands at its 5′ extremity, we can detect the amount of cleaved strand that is reached after a given time.
Although damage to other parts of a cell than DNA can also lead to its death [for example, damage to mitochondria (Kobayashi et al. 2010; Pan et al. 2009)], the most widely used proxy for determining the efficacy of radiotherapy is to monitor the amount of DNA strand breaks produced.
The amount of ONNV strand RNA in the unknown sample was calculated from standard curves (Fig. 1; A and B).
The percentage of cells in the S phase served as a good predictor of the amount of nascent strand DNA available in the preparation (see Supporting Tables S1).
