چکیده

Dependence of charge transmission through several experimentally studied DNA duplexes on their lowest-frequency acoustic modes, combined with the molecular dynamics in picosecond characteristic time range, has been studied. Based on this analysis we were able to identify the specific acoustic modes responsible for the noticeable increase in DNA charge transmission. Other factors influencing electric properties of DNA duplexes are discussed. 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

رسانش الکترونی رشته ( poly(dG)-poly(dCمولکول DNA در ساختار SWNT/DNA/SWNT

  In this work, using a tight-binding Hamiltonian model, a generalized Greens function method and Löwdins partitioning techniques, some of the significant properties of the conductance of poly(dG)-poly(dC) DNA molecule in SWNT/DNA/SWNT structure are numerically investigated. In Fishbone model, we consider DNA as a planar molecule which contains M cells and 3 further sites (one base pair site an...

Differential Dynamics of the Levels of Low Molecular Weight DNA Fragments in Plasma of Patients With Ischemic and Hemorrhaging Strokes

Objective: To evaluate low-molecular-weight (LMW) DNA as possible prognostic biomarker in acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Methods:  LMW DNA samples were isolated from plasma and cerebrospinal fluid by phenol deproteinization, analyzed by gradient polyacrylamide electrophoresis and quantified by spectrophotometry. Results: Two common types of the stroke, ischemic and hemorrhagic, differ...

The study of dose gamma rays of 192Ir source on DNA single strand break (SSB) and DNA double strand break (DSB) in soft tissue phantom

Introduction: Passage of ionizing radiation through the organs of living creatures develops clusters of damaged nucleotides inside the DNA rounds. 192Ir Gamma source is one of the most widely used sources in brachytherapy of cervical and prostate cancer. Thus, in this research, we investigated the flux of photons and its resulting secondary electrons, the single-strand break (S...

جداسازی پروتئین LMG از بافت کبد موش و میانکنش آن با

ABSTRACT In eukaryote cells, DNA is complexed with a series of basic proteins making units of chromatin structure named nucleosomes. In addition, nonhistone proteins with different function are the components of chromatin. Among these proteins, a group with a low mobility on gel electrophoresis have been identified and named LMG. In this study a LMG protein with a molecular weigh of 160 ...
