Kinetic Proofreading can Enhance Specificity in a Non-enzymatic DNA Strand Displacement Network

R. Mukherjee, A. Sengar, J. Cabello-Garcia, T. E. Ouldridge

This study introduces a DNA strand displacement-based kinetic proofreading motif that enhances molecular recognition specificity in templated dimerization reactions by consuming DNA-based fuel.

Overcoming the speed limit of four-way DNA branch migration with bulges in toeholds

F. Smith, A. Sengar, G.-B. V. Stan, T. E. Ouldridge, M. Stevens, J. Goertz, W. Bae

This paper introduces a method to enhance four-way DNA exchange reaction kinetics by adding bulges to toeholds, making it faster and more efficient, closer to three-way reactions.

The ACE-2 receptor accelerates but is not biochemically required for SARS-CoV-2 membrane fusion.

M. Cervantes, T. Hess, G. G. Morbioli, A. Sengar, P. M. Kasson

This study shows that ACE-2 accelerates but is not required for SARS-CoV-2 membrane fusion when an alternative attachment factor is present.

Mechanistic dissection of antibody inhibition of influenza entry yields unexpected heterogeneity

A. Sengar, M. Cervantes, P. Kasson

This study develops a microfluidic assay to distinguish between attachment and fusion inhibition by antibodies against influenza hemagglutinin, revealing unexpected heterogeneity in neutralization mechanisms.

Single-virus fusion measurements reveal multiple mechanistically equivalent pathways for SARS-CoV-2 entry

A. Sengar, M. Cervantes, S. T. Bondalapati, T. Hess, P. Kasson

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 can use multiple protease-activated entry pathways, with fusion kinetics unaffected by protease identity or activation timing.
