Conformational changes to plasmid DNA induced by low energy carbon ions
The damage induced in supercoiled plasmid DNA molecules by low energy (<500 eVu) carbon ions has been investigated as a function of ion dose. The production of short linear fragments through multiple double strand breakage is suggested and exponential dose responses for each of the topoisomers are presented.
متن کاملSub-angstrom conformational changes of a single molecule captured by AFM variance analysis.
A system's equilibrium variance can be analyzed to probe its underlying dynamics at higher resolution. Here, using single-molecule atomic-force microscope techniques, we show how the variance in the length of a single dextran molecule can be used to establish thermodynamic equilibrium and to detect conformational changes not directly observable with other methods. Dextran is comprised of a chai...
متن کاملLigand-induced conformational changes observed in single RNA molecules.
We present the first demonstration that fluorescence resonance energy transfer can be used to track the motion of a single molecule undergoing conformational changes. As a model system, the conformational changes of individual three-helix junction RNA molecules induced by the binding of ribosomal protein S15 or Mg(2+) ions were studied by changes in single-molecule fluorescence. The transition ...
متن کاملMapping the B-A conformational transition along plasmid DNA
A simple method is presented to monitor conformational isomerizations along genomic DNA. We illustrate properties of the method with the B-A conformational transition induced by ethanol in linearized pUC19 plasmid DNA. At various ethanol concentrations, the DNA was irradiated with ultraviolet light, transferred to a restriction endonuclease buffer and the irradiated DNA was cleaved by 17 restri...
متن کاملDNA conformational changes at the primer-template junction regulate the fidelity of replication by DNA polymerase.
Local conformational changes in primer-template (P/T) DNA are involved in the selective incorporation of dNTP by DNA polymerases (DNAP). Here we use near UV CD and fluorescence spectra of pairs of base analogue probes, substituted either at the primer terminus or in the coding region of the template strand, to monitor and interpret conformational changes at and near the coding base of the templ...
