Using base pair concentrations of 56 and 112 μM for the sonicated calf thymus DNA (equivalent to 2 and 4 μM, respectively, for 28 bp DNA) as a competitor, we measured the target search kinetics of Egr-1 at 150 mM KCl. Figure 3 shows the dependence of measured kapp constants on protein concentration.
But for neural computation, we don't know what the DNA equivalent is.
They can carry the DNA equivalent of scissors, which gives them the potential to detect and alter individual gene mutations.
This is done by converting mRNA into its DNA equivalent, which is more stable and easier to work with.
The presence of DNA equivalent to 10 oocysts was sufficient for the amplification of the ITS1.
And rather than trying to build the DNA equivalent of a supercomputer, or even a wristwatch calculator, he made a device so simple -- from a computer science standpoint, that is -- that it can barely be called a computer.
The sensitivity of LAMP for PemoNPV detection was approximately 50 viral copies ng−1 genomic DNA (equivalent to 150 viral copies per reaction).
The process also contains the DNA equivalent of the error-detecting "parity bit" found in most computer systems.To provide yet more tolerance for mistakes, the researchers chopped up the source files a further three times, each in a slightly different, overlapping way.
Moreover, using DNA purified directly from disrupted conidia, it was possible to detect with a probability of 90%, using one unique PCR assay, the DNA equivalent of 166 conidia per μl of S. musiva and 156 conidia per μl of S. populicola.
Under our experimental condition, the microarray assay analysis was able to detect the amount of DNA equivalent to 24 (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), 160 (Lactobacillus brevis) and 124 (Gluconobacter oxydans) cells, three species chosen as experimental models for the three studied microbial classes.
In comparison, qPCR method yielded linear standard curve in the concentration range from around 10−4 to 10 ng DNA (equivalent to 5.2 × 102 to 5.2 × 107 cells) (Figure 4).
