Telomeres and Unzipping

Mapping the path to the Fountain of
              Youth
                      By:
Technique
Using techniques from Shotgun Chromatin/DNA Mapping (SCM/SDM)
we hope to map a variety of useful DNA structures/components. One
such application could be to map Telomeres.
3’ Overhang
       G-rich strand



                                                             F
                    Telomere
                    DNA




                   F


                           How to unzip?
Using techniques established by others, it is possible to isolate a telomere
from other chromosomal DNA using cutting enzymes. We can attach the
telomere fragment to Koch’s unzipping scheme like any other DNA/chromatin
fragment.

                  Possible Unzipping Scenarios
    A.   Naked Telomere DNA
    B.   T-loop with proteins (TRF1 and TRF2 shown)
    C.   G-quadruplex structures on Naked Telomere DNA
    D.   (Unshown) Some combination of the above.
