Check our new work about how the mitochondrial polymerase and SSB coordinate their activities
https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkad037 Many replicative DNA polymerases couple DNA replication and unwinding activities to perform strand displacement DNA synthesis, a critical ability for DNA metabolism. Strand displacement is tightly regulated by partner proteins, such...
It’s not OK for us to say it, but we’ve written a great review about in singulo studies on DNA replication. Check it out!

Have a look to our first ever single-molecule fluorescence results with Lumicks C-trap
We are using the new and fancy Lumicks Ctrap at Fernando Moreno' lab (CNB) to track the real-time kinetics of Pfh1 helicase moving along single stranded DNA. The image above shows the trajectory of a single helicase (blue) tagged with a quantum dot along...

We are organizing the next IMDEA International Workshop on Nanoscale Imaging and Manipulation in Life and Materials Sciences. Great invited speakers in a great research environment! Join us the next 8th and 9th of October 2018 on IMDEA Nanociencia
Testing the mechancial strength of H-bonds
Check out our new method to measure at the single molecule level the strength of H-bonds. It was published on Chemical Science and highligthed by the Royal Society of Chemistry magazine Chemistry World. This is our first work in collaboration with the lab of Emilio M....
DNA replication influences the binding mode of the mitochondrial SSB to ssDNA
We have shown that the gradual replication of DNA selects the binding mode of the mitochondrial SSB protein. Check out our work in Morin, Cerron, et al NAR 2017. Congrats everybody!!! and thank you very much to the labs of our collaborators, F.J. Cao (U. Complutense)...
Our work about the binding mode of the mitochondrial SSB proteins has been published in NAR
May 2017. Our work to determine the binding mode of the mitochondrial SSB proteins has been accepted for publication and is already on line!!
