PURSE LAB

Ani Shalamberidze, a Ph.D. student member of our team, has published a JACS paper in collaboration with the Kleiner Lab at Princeton shows that a combination of judiciously selected fluorescent nucleoside analogues with genetic upregulation of nucleoside kinase activity enables metabolic labeling and live-cell imaging of RNA biology. The method has already been used to discover previously unknown cytoplasmic RNA granules generated during oxidative stress. Great ready for more discoveries in RNA biology!... Purse Lab Ph.D. student George Samaan has develop the first fluorescent nucleobase analogue that performs robustly in single-molecule fluorescence measurements. Get ready for exciting new advances in single-molecule biophysical studies on nucleic acids!... The Purse Group at SDSU is a diverse team of graduate and undergraduate researchers using the tools of synthetic and physical organic chemistry to create new nucleoside analogues for applications in biophysical studies and..
