Binding Mechanisms of Methylene Blue and Hoechst 33258 with Dna
In this work the data of methylene blue (MB) and Hoechst 33258 interaction with DNA are presented. It has been shown that at 0.002 M ionic strength of solution MB is bound to double-stranded DNA by three modes: intercalation, semi-intercalation and electrostatic. It was revealed that at higher ionic strengths of solution complete intercalation of MB becomes thermodynamically unacceptable. It wa...
متن کاملInteraction of Hoechst 33258 and ethidium with histone1-DNA condensates.
We report structural and dynamical aspects of DNAs from various sources including synthetic oligonucleotides in bulk buffer and as a complex with histone1 (H1). High-resolution transmission electron microscopic (HRTEM) studies reveal the structural change of the DNAs upon complexation with H1 leading to formation of compact-globular and hollow-toroidal particles. In order to explore the functio...
متن کاملStability and structural features of DNA intercalation with ethidium bromide, acridine orange and methylene blue
Ethidium bromide (EB), acridine orange (AO), methylene blue (MB) and other fluorescent compounds are often used to probe DNA structure in drug–DNA and protein–DNA interactions. They bind nucleic acids via intercalative mode and cause major changes to DNA and RNA structures. The aim of this study was to examine the stability and structural features of calf-thymus DNA complexes with EB, AO andMB ...
متن کاملStudy of Peculiarities of Differential Absorption Spectra of Complexes of Acridine Orange, Ethidium Bromide and Methylene Blue with Dna
Interaction of intercalators: ethidium bromide (EtBr), methylene blue (MB) and acridine orange (AO), with DNA at 0.02 M ionic strength of the solution has been studied by differential spectroscopy method. It was revealed that EtBr binds to DNA by intercalation, semi-intercalation and electrostatic modes; MB by semiintercalation and electrostatic modes and AO by intercalation and electrostatic m...
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...
