Fluorescence of chromatin DNA by an oxazolium scintillator.
نویسنده
چکیده
Aqueous solutions of a yellow and highly fluorescent derivative from dimethyl-POPOP, obtained by treating a chloroform solution of this oxazole scintillator with dimethylsulfate, induce a strong blue-green or yellow-green fluorescence in chromatin DNA under ultraviolet (365 nm) or violet-blue (436 nm) excitation, respectively. It is suggested that this new and selective fluorescence reaction could originate from binding of the oxazolium derivative into the minor groove of DNA.

Background: There has been a growing claim that cell phone usage may have a detrimental effect on sperm chromatin. Infertile men possess anomalies in the composition of their sperm nuclei, displaying higher levels of loosely packaged chromatin and damaged DNA. In this study we examined the relationship of cell phone radiation and the protection effect of alpha_tocopherol on human sperm DNA. Mat...

Background: Cysteine has been used as additive in cryopreservation extenders. It contains of thiol group which plays an antioxidant role to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) during freeze -thaw procedure. Excessive ROS production cause DNA damage and subsequently reduce sperm fertility. On the other hand, protamine protein have high levels of cysteine which is critical in packaging and co...

Background and Aim: Sperm cryopreservation is a common technique used for management of male infertility. But this method has detrimental effects on sperm DNA and chromatin quality. Evaluation of different markers associated with the health of genetic material of sperm is beneficial for determination of the fertility of sperm. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of sperm chromatin co...
