Base Orientation of Second DNA in RecA·DNA Filaments. Analysis by combination of linear dichroism and small angle neutron scattering in flow-oriented solution [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
To gain insight into the mechanism of pairing two complementary DNA strands by the RecA protein, we have determined the nucleobase orientation of the first and the second bound DNA strands in the RecA·DNA filament by combined measurements of linear ...

The Reaction of Formaldehyde with Polynucleotides

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1961
Formaldehyde has been used extensively for chemically modifying proteins and for inactivating toxins and viruses, although the precise mode of its action is little understood. In the case of tobacco mosaic virus, however, Fraenkel-Conrat (1) and Staehelin (2) have shown that inactivation of the virus is due to interaction of formaldehyde with the amino

Organic Reactivity Matters for the Emergence of Life: Kinetic Barriers and Molecular Diversity Are Suggested as Crucial Factors by Emerging Autonomous System Models

open access: yesChemSystemsChem, EarlyView.
Self‐organisation may result from organic systems fed with free energy provided that reactivity becomes a determining factor. The propensity of carbon to form covalent bonds can give rise to kinetically stable thermodynamically activated compounds possibly undergoing non‐linear kinetic processes.

Concentration and isolation of DNA from biological fluids by agarose gel isotachophoresis

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2005
Isotachophoresis is an electrophoretic method of separation of charged substances. The method is characterized by a discontinuous buffer system, constant velocity of separated molecules, and the distribution of separated components in the form of narrow ...

A novel DNA vaccine technology conveying protection against a lethal herpes simplex viral challenge in mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
While there are a number of licensed veterinary DNA vaccines, to date, none have been licensed for use in humans. Here, we demonstrate that a novel technology designed to enhance the immunogenicity of DNA vaccines protects against lethal herpes simplex ...

Derivatization of unprotected polynucleotides

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1983
A simple and efficient method for attaching amines to the terminal 5'-phosphate of unprotected oligonucleotides or nucleic acids in aqueous solution is described. The method is applicable to low molecular-weight amines, polypeptides, or proteins. The terminal 5'-phosphate of an oligonucleotide or nucleic acid reacts with a water-soluble carbodiimide in

Nickel (II) Ions Interaction with Polynucleotides and DNA of Different GC Composition [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2009
The goal of the work was to study the role of GC alternative dimmers in the binding of DNA with Ni (II) ions. The method of ultraviolet difference spectroscopy has been applied to investigate Ni (II) ions interactions with DNA extracted from Clostridium perfringens, Mice liver (C3HA line), Calf thymus, Salmon sperm, Herring sperm, E.coli, Micrococcus ...

Lack of Z-DNA Conformation in Mitomycin-Modified Polynucleotides Having Inverted Circular Dichroism [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Poly(dG-dC)· poly(dG-dC) and Micrococcus lysodeikticus DNA were modified by exposure to reductively activated mitomycin C, an antitumor antibiotic. The resulting covalent drug-polynucleotide complexes displayed varying degrees of CD inversions, which are

Polynucleotide-Chitosan Complex, an Insoluble but Reactive Form of Polynucleotide.

open access: yesChemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1997
DNA formed an insoluble complex on mixing with chitosan (poly-D-glucosamine) in solution. The DNA content of the complex was about 50% and the DNA remained insoluble in aqueous media of pH 2-7%; e.g., on treatment of the DNA-chitosan complex with phosphate-buffered saline at pH 7 and 37 degrees C for 26 h, the DNA released into the aqueous phase was ...

Membrane selectivity and pore formation of SprA1 and SprA2 hemolytic peptides from Staphylococcus aureus type I toxin–antitoxin systems

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
When overexpressed in Staphylococcus aureus, the type I toxins SprA1 and SprA2 form membrane pores, with SprA1 creating stable pores and SprA2 forming transient ones. Both induce concomitant membrane depolarization, ATP release, and growth arrest, while only SprA1 causes membrane permeabilization due to its stable pore formation.
