Engineering neonatal Fc receptor-mediated recycling and transcytosis in recombinant proteins by short terminal peptide extensions.

abstract：:DNA "breathing" is a thermally driven process in which base-paired DNA sequences transiently adopt local conformations that depart from their most stable structures. Polymerases and other proteins of genome expression require access to single-stranded DNA coding templates located in the double-stranded DNA "interior,"...
