Binding of 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) to AT regions of DNA: evidence for an allosteric conformational change.
The interaction of 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) with several double-helical poly- and oligonucleotides has been studied in solution using optical spectroscopic techniques: flow linear dichroism (LD), induced circular dichroism (CD), and fluorescence spectroscopy. In AT-rich sequences, where DAPI is preferentially bound, LD indicates that the molecule is edgewise inserted into the minor ...
متن کاملLong-time molecular dynamics simulations of botulinum biotoxin type-A at different pH values and temperatures.
Botulinum neurotoxins type A (BoNT/A) are highly potent toxins, but are also useful in the treatment of illnesses. We studied the properties of BoNT/A at various temperatures and pH values in order to understand its toxicity and structure variations. The pH values of the environment of BoNT/A are obtained by changing the protonation states of certain titratable residue groups. Our results show ...
متن کاملFluorescence resonance energy transfer and molecular modeling studies on 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) complexes with tubulin.
The goal of this work was to determine the binding properties and location of 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) complexed with tubulin. Using fluorescence anisotropy, a dissociation constant of 5.2+/-0.4 microM for the DAPI-tubulin complex was determined, slightly lower than that for the tubulin S complex. The influence of the C-terminal region on the binding of DAPI to tubulin was also char...
متن کاملEvaluation of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) gels as drug delivery systems at different pH values.
Studies of dynamic and equilibrium swelling, structural characterisation and solute transport in swollen poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) gels (pHEMA) cross-linked with tripropyleneglycol diacrylate (TPGDA) were done for a wide range of TPGDA concentrations. The influence of the pH on these pHEMA properties was evaluated. In swelling studies it was found that in changing the pH from 6.5 to 12....
