DNA-templated formation of fluorescent self-assembly of ethynyl pyrenes.
DNA single strands can be applied as templates for the self-assembly of Py≡dU chromophores in H2O with optical properties that are very similar to Py≡dU stacks that are covalently attached to DNA. The chirality, however, of the non-covalent stacks is opposite to that of the covalent stacks.
متن کاملEnergy transfer dynamics in light-harvesting assemblies templated by the tobacco mosaic virus coat protein.
Picosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy was used to characterize energy transfer between chromophores displayed on a rod assembly of tobacco mosaic virus coat protein. The incorporation of donor chromophores with broad and overlapping absorption and emission spectra creates an "antenna" with a large absorption cross section, which can convey excitation energy over large distances bef...
متن کاملSequence dependence of energy transfer in DNA oligonucleotides.
The sequence, temperature, concentration, and solvent dependence of singlet energy transfer from normal DNA bases to the 2-aminopurine base in synthesized DNA oligomers were investigated by optical spectroscopy. Transfer was shown directly by a variable fluorescence excitation band at 260-280 nm. Adenine (A) is the most efficient energy donor by an order of magnitude. Stacks of A adjacent to 2A...
متن کاملDNA-Dye-Conjugates: Conformations and Spectra of Fluorescence Probes
Extensive molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations have been used to investigate DNA-dye and DNA-photosensitizer conjugates, which act as reactants in templated reactions leading to the generation of fluorescent products in the presence of specific desoxyribonucleic acid sequences (targets). Such reactions are potentially suitable for detecting target nucleic acids in live cells by fluorescence micr...
متن کاملConformational transitions of proteins engaged in DNA double-strand break repair, analysed by tryptophan fluorescence emission and FRET.
We analysed protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions relevant to the repair of DNA DSBs (double-strand breaks) by NHEJ (non-homologous end-joining). Conformational transitions in mammalian DNA ligases III (LigIII) and IV (LigIV), as well as in PARP-1 [poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1], were analysed upon binding to double-stranded DNA by changes in tryptophan emission and FRET (Förster resonan...
