Quantitation of DNA using Hoechst 33258
An essential element of cellular and molecular biology is the ability to quantitate DNA in large numbers of samples at a sensitivity that enables determination of small amounts of sample. Here we describe a fluorescent method to quantitate DNA with Hoechst 33258 dye and the BioTek FL600 fluorescence microplate reader. This assay provides linear results over three orders of magnitude and can rou...
متن کاملMeasurement of cell numbers in microtiter culture plates using the fluorescent dye Hoechst 33258.
A sensitive fluorimetric assay based on DNA binding of the fluorescent dye Hoechst 33258 was developed to quantitate cell numbers in microtiter plates. The cells were fixed and incubated with the dye solution. The bound dye was extracted with ethanol and fluorescence was measured in a spectrofluorimeter. The method is sensitive for as little as a thousand cells and is particularly useful for th...
متن کاملBuoyant density of DNA-Hoechst 33258 (bisbenzimide) complexes in CsCl gradients: Hoechst 33258 binds to single AT base pairs.
Buoyant density of DNA in CsCl gradients with Hoechst 33258 (bisbenzimide) was investigated as a function of guanine plus cytosine content of the DNA (%GC; in mole percent). A formula for calculating %GC from the refractive index (nD) of the isopycnic CsCl/Hoechst 33258 solution over the range of 0-75 %GC was established: %GC = 351762.28 X nD - 123778.66 X nD2 - 249789.47 (the coefficients must...
متن کاملStudies on UV-Visible, Fluorescent Spectral Properties and Solvatochromic behavior of Naphthalimide Compound Containing Quaternary Ammonium
This paper presents the results of absorption spectra, fluorescence properties and the effect of solvents on UV-Vis spectra of dye quaternized 4-acetylamino-N-2-aminomethylpyridine-1,8-naphthalimide. The fluorescency of the dye was evaluated and its Stokes shift value was 6140 cm-1 in DMF. The solvatochromism behavior of the novel compound is investigated by studying its spectra in pure organic...
متن کاملReaching into the major groove of B-DNA: synthesis and nucleic acid binding of a neomycin-hoechst 33258 conjugate.
Synthesis of a neomycin-Hoechst 33258 conjugate is reported. The conjugate combines the ligands known to selectively bind in the duplex and the triplex groove. The conjugate stabilizes DNA duplex over DNA triplex. The conjugate selectively stabilizes the DNA duplex (in the presence of salt), with as little as 2 muM of the ligand leading to a DeltaTm of 25 degrees C.
