Stabilization of nucleic acid assemblies, such as duplex and triplex, is quite important for their wide variety of potential applications. Various stabilization methods, including molecular designs of chemically modified nucleotides and hybrid stabilizers, and combinations of different stabilization methods have been developed to increase stability of nucleic acid assemblies. However, combinati...

1. The solubilities and differential heats of solution of d-tyrosine, dl-tyrosine, diiodo-dl-tyrosine, dibromo-l-tyrosine (hydrated), dibromo-l-tyrosine (anhydrous), and dichloro-l-tyrosine (hydrated) have been determined. 2. Evidence has been advanced that dl-tyrosine is a compound. 3. From the solubility determinations at various acidities, the apparent acid and basic dissociation constants o...

Standard thermodynamic function changes (AGO”, AHe’, A&” and Acre”) are reported for proton dissociation of acridinium cation in aqueous solution. These values have been determined from a series of precise and accurate acid equilibrium constants, K,. The equilibrium constants have been obtained spectrophotometrically over a range of temperatures from 2 to 66°C at several ionic strengths (I = 0....

1. The conductivities of aqueous solutions of glycine, d,l-valine, and l-asparagine have been determined, and comparisons have been made with similar data reported in the literature. 2. On the basis of certain theoretical considerations, calculations of the expected conductivities of aqueous solutions of glycine, asparagine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid have been made and these data have be...

Influence of the acidity iodous acid (HOIO) solution system on kinetics disproportionation reaction is examined in aqueous sulfuric (0.125 moldm-3 ). The rate constants were determined at 285, 291, 298 and 303 K based data obtained under stationary conditions. calculated increase with increasing temperature for different values iodate concentrations. average activation energy 46 kJmol-1 was cho...

Intestinal enterocytes contain two homologous fatty acid-binding proteins, intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP)2 and liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP). Since the functional basis for this multiplicity is not known, the fatty acid-binding specificity of recombinant forms of both rat I-FABP and rat L-FABP was examined. A systematic comparative analysis of the 18 carbon chain len...

1. The apparent acid and basic dissociation constants were determined potentiometrically by the methods of hydrolysis and of titration for the following ampholytes: Glycocoll, glycylglycocoll, alanylglycocoll, valylglycocoll, leucylglycocoll, methylleucylglycocoll, phenylalanylglycocoll and glycylglycylglycocoll. The constants were also determined in the presence of KCl and of K(2)SO(4) at equa...

Surfactant molecules are used as interesting tools to study the structure, function and stability of proteins. Protonation states of amino acids may be changed in the presence of surfactants. In this work, using experimental observations and molecular dynamic simulation, the effects of sodium dodecyl sulfate on the acid dissociation constants of tryptophan was examined. The acid–base equilibriu...
