Salt-induced conformational changes of poly(dA-dT).
Conformational changes of poly(dA-dT) . poly(dA-dT) induced by increasing ionic strength were studied using CD spectroscopy. It was found that a pronounced noncooperative inversion of the long-wavelength part of the CD spectrum of poly(dA-dT) . poly(dA-dT) occurred at high concentrations of CsF in solution. It was suggested that a great difference between the geometries of the purine and pyrimi...
متن کاملConformational changes induced by salt in complexes of histones and superhelical nuclear DNA.
When HeLa cells are lysed in solutions containing a non-ionic detergent and 0.75 M-NaCl, structures are released that retain many of the morphological features of nuclei. These nucleoids contain all the nuclear DNA, RNA and the 'core' histones, but few other proteins characteristic of chromatin. Their DNA is intact. The core histones dissociate on raising the salt concentration. We have probed ...
متن کاملA Study of the Oxidation-Induced Conformational and Functional Changes in Neuroserpin
Neuroserpin, a member of the Serine Proteinase Inhibitor (Serpin) superfamily, is known to be a neuroprotective factor in the focal ischemic stroke followed by reducing the microglial activation. Neuroserpin is a protein rich of methionine residues that can scavenge the free radical species which may increase its neuroprotective effect. On the other hand, the oxidative modifications of the amin...
متن کاملCharge-Induced Conformational Changes of Dendrimers
We study the effect of chargeable monomers on the conformation of dendrimers of low generation by computer simulations, employing bare Coulomb interactions. The presence of the latter leads to an increase in size of the dendrimer due to a combined effect of electrostatic repulsion and the presence of counterions within the dendrimer and also enhances a shell-like structure for the monomers of d...
متن کاملMeasuring Surface-Induced Conformational Changes in Proteins
Microfabricated cantilever sensors were used to measure the surface stress induced by protein adsorption onto a gold surface. Two proteins, immoglobulin G (IgG) and albumin (BSA), were studied. The change of surface stress upon adsorption of IgG was found to be compressive, whereas that of BSA was tensile. This difference is elucidated in terms of protein deformation and packing. Most stress ch...
