متن کاملStructural investigation of complexes formed by DNA+CTAB and DNA+DDAB and Designing a method to increase salt ions between DNA and the Surfactant rods.
The internal structure of DNA-CTAB and DNA-DDAB is investigated by a Small Angel X- ray Scattering(SAXS) instrument. Hexagonal packing of DNA was observed for DNA complex with CTAB, and for DDABcomplex is observed lamellar structure. Variations in the internal spacing and degree of long-range ordering aredependent on both surfactant type and concentrations of added salt. When we increased the a...
متن کاملP-72: Effect of Subinguinal Varicocelectomy on Human Sperm DNA Integrity and Semen Parameters
Background: Varicocele occurs in approximately 15% to 20% of the male population and it is the most common cause of poor semen parameters. It has been demonstrated that patients with varicocele have poor chromatin packing, DNA damage and nuclear anomalies than the healthy men. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate sperm chromatin integrity and semen parameters in these patients after...
