Precision Bandmaster
Published Wednesday, March 5, 2008Researchers at the University of Maryland have invented a new gel-cutting device for use in molecular biology.This device, the Bandmaster, is unlike any other gel-cutting device currently available in that it allows accurate viewing of the band from above, which can greatly reduce the possibility of contamination. Unlike most other...

‘Sashi’ Agar- Agar for the Specific Detection of Salmonella and Shigella
Published Sunday, November 12, 2006Researchers have developed a single plating agar that detects both Shigella and Salmonella species. Importantly, the new agar is capable of doing this with greater sensitivity and specificity, for both agents, than other agars in common use. The new agar, because of its ability to efficiently detect two major human pathogens, appears to...

Nuclease Deficient RecBCD Enzyme
Published Monday, February 2, 2004Researchers at the University of Maryland have isolated a set of plasma borne genes that encode three forms of a bacterial enzyme that unwinds double-stranded DNA very rapidly and with high processivity. The enzyme is also a nuclease that breaks down one or both strands of the DNA. The researches have mutated the gene so that it lacks detectable...

Restriction Enzyme Hae IV
Published Monday, April 19, 1999Restriction and modification (R/M) systems are found in a wide variety of prokaryotes and serve as a means to protect the host bacterium from foreign DNA. R/M systems are categorized based on the subunit structure of the enzyme, cofactor requirements, substrate specificity, and other properties. There are many enzymes that can be classified as...
