Visualization of DNA within mitochondria by osmium-ammine staining of mouse duodenal crypt cells.
Previous investigators have examined mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in the electron microscope (EM) after extraction from mitochondria and rotary shadowing. We have observed mtDNA in situ by the osmiumammine procedure for specific staining of DNA in the EM. The procedure was modified to improve the regularity of the staining and then applied to the rapidly dividing cells present in mouse duodenal cr...
متن کاملChemical mechanism of the Gram stain and synthesis of a new electron-opaque marker for electron microscopy which replaces the iodine mordant of the stain.
Crystal violet (hexamethyl-para-rosaniline chloride) interacts with aqueous KI-I2 during the Gram stain via a simple metathetical anion exchange to produce a chemical precipitate. There is an apparent 1:1 stoichiometry between anion (I-) and cation (hexamethyl-para-rosaniline+) during the reaction and, since the small chloride anion is replaced by the bulkier iodide, the complex formed becomes ...
متن کاملElectron transfer through a stable phenanthrenyl pair in DNA.
Within an oligonucleotide duplex, excess electron transfer from a excited 5-(pyren-1-yl)uridine through an internal stacked phenanthrenyl pair to 5-bromouridine as an electron acceptor was observed.
متن کاملDNA-templated synthesis: more versatile than expected.
It has been known for almost twenty years that nucleic acids may promote chemical reactions. Catalytic nucleic acids can be found in nature or evolved through in vitro selection processes.[1] Structural and functional investigations suggest that catalytically active nucleic acids act in a similar manner to enzymes: they promote chemical reactions through the precise spatial alignment of the rea...
متن کاملThe Use of Vanadium as a Stain for Electron Microscopy
Utilization of heavy metals in electron microscopy to obtain image contrast of a degree greater than that resulting from fixation with osmium tetroxide or potassium permanganate is now an accepted practice. Staining is virtually essential when an epoxy resin is used as embedding medium, but only a small number of compounds have been suggested and few of these are in routine use. Lead hydroxide ...
