UV Melting of G-Quadruplexes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Absorbance versus temperature curves can provide information on the thermal stability of DNA or RNA quadruplexes. Quadruplex denaturation or renaturation can be followed by recording absorbance at 295 nm rather than 260 nm, the wavelength used to monitor duplex denaturation. This unit describes the use of absorbance versus temperature curves to determine melting temperatures (T(m) values) and model-dependent thermodynamic parameters.

Recognition of Chelerythrine to Human Telomeric DNA and RNA G-quadruplexes
A study on binding of antitumor chelerythrine to human telomeric DNA/RNA G-quadruplexes was performed by using DNA polymerase stop assay, UV-melting, ESI-TOF-MS, UV-Vis absorption spectrophotometry and fluorescent triazole orange displacement assay. Chelerythrine selectively binds to and stabilizes the K(+)-form hybrid-type human telomeric DNA G-quadruplex of biological significance, compared w...
متن کاملKinetics and mechanism of G-quadruplex formation and conformational switch in a G-quadruplex of PS2.M induced by Pb2+
DNA sequences with guanine repeats can form G-quartets that adopt G-quadruplex structures in the presence of specific metal ions. Using circular dichroism (CD) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, we determined the spectral characteristics and the overall conformation of a G-quadruplex of PS2.M with an oligonucleotide sequence, d(GTG(3)TAG(3)CG(3)TTG(2)). UV-melting curves demonstrate...

A cyclic naphthalene diimide (cyclic NDI, 1), carrying a benzene moiety as linker chain, was synthesized and its interaction with G-quadruplex DNAs of a-core and a-coreTT as a human telomeric DNA, c-kit and c-myc as DNA sequence at promoter region, or thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA) studied based on UV-VIS and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic techniques, thermal melting temperature measurem...
متن کاملData on secondary structures and ligand interactions of G-rich oligonucleotides that defy the classical formula for G4 motifs
The data provided in this article are related to the research article "The expanding repertoire of G4 DNA structures" [1]. Secondary structures of G-rich oligonucleotides (ONs) that represent "imperfect" G-quadruplex (G4) motifs, i.e., contain truncated or interrupted G-runs, were analyzed by optical methods. Presented data on ON structures include circular dichroism (CD) spectra, thermal diffe...
متن کاملSpectroscopic data for the G-quadruplex DNA to duplex DNA reaction
This article describes additional data related to a research article entitled "Kinetics of Quadruplex to Duplex Conversion" (Mendoza et al. 2015 [1]). We followed the opening reaction of a series of intramolecular G-quadruplex structures by the addition of their corresponding complementary strand. Fluorolabeled complementary strands allowed to monitor the reaction in real-time. An adapted kinet...
