<p><br />Halal foods and medicines are an absolute daily needs for the Muslim community in Indonesia. Therefore the authority institutions in indonesian goverment should ensure the availability of this. It is of course inseparable from the role of higher education through the development of its technology to develop halal detection of foods and drugs. This study is an effort to contribute to the Halal Research Center of UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta through the biosensor development in halal detection foods and medicines based on biosensor SPR. This device using graphene materials to improve the detection sensitivity of pork gelatin material that is likely contained in foodstuffs and medicine. From analytical calculation and computation, enhancement of the SPR biosensor performance by involvement graphene it was shown through the ATR (Attenuated Total Reflectance) reflective curve. The result of this results was found the enhancement of the sensitivity 2,86 %.</p><p>Keyword: Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), Porcine Gelatin, Graphene, ATR</p>

AbstractThe timely activation of homologous recombination is essential for the maintenance of genome stability, in which the RAD51 recombinase plays a central role. Biochemically, human RAD51 polymerises faster on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) compared to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), raising a key conceptual question: how does it discriminate between them? In this study, we tackled this problem by systematically assessing RAD51 binding kinetics on ssDNA and dsDNA differing in length and flexibility using surface plasmon resonance. By fitting detailed polymerisation models informed by our experimental datasets, we show that RAD51 is a mechano-sensor that exhibits a larger polymerisation rate constant on flexible ssDNA compared to rigid ssDNA or dsDNA. This model presents a new general framework suggesting that the flexibility of DNA, which may increase locally as a result of DNA damage, plays an important role in rapidly recruiting repair factors that multimerise at sites of DNA damage.
