Proton 2D-NOE spectroscopy has been used to investigate the three-dimensional conformations of several sonicated polydeoxynucleotides in solution. The observed pattern of cross peaks indicate that poly(dAdT) . poly(dAdT1 in all salt concentrations studied (up to 6.6M CsF), and poly(dG-m5dC) . poly(dG-m5dC) in low salt (0.1M NaCU are righthanded B-structures. Poly(dG-m5dC) . poly(dG-m5dC) in Mg2...

10.1601/nm.2199 CLST is an extremely acidophilic gamma-proteobacteria that was isolated from the Gorbea salt flat, an acidic hypersaline environment in northern Chile. This kind of environment is considered a terrestrial analog of ancient Martian terrains and a source of new material for biotechnological applications. 10.1601/nm.2199 plays a key role in industrial bioleaching; it has the capaci...

چکیده: حضور منابع تولید پراکنده (dg) در سیستم قدرت در مقابل مزایای اقتصادی آن، می­تواند باعث ایجاد عدم هماهنگی در عملکرد رله­های اضافه جریان گردد. در این مقاله شاخص جدیدی، مستقل از تنظیمات رله­ها، به منظور تعیین میزان تأثیر نصب dg بر قیود هماهنگی رله­های اضافه جریان ارائه گردیده است. در صورت حضور منابع تولید پراکنده در شبکه، جریان خطای عبوری از رله­های پشتیبان و اصلی نسبت به حالت عدم حضور آن من...

The binding of ethidium bromide (EtdBr) to the dC-dG-dC-dG self-complementary duplex has been monitored at the resolvable drug and nucleic acid protons and backbone phosphates at high nucleotide/drug (N/D) ratios by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in aqueous solution. We observe averaged resonances (25 degrees-95 degrees) for the nucleic acid and drug nonexchangeable protons in th...

The carcinogen 2-acetylaminofluorene forms two major DNA adducts: N-(2'-deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-acetylaminofluorene (dG-AAF) and its deacetylated derivative, N-(2'-deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-aminofluorene (dG-AF). Although the dG-AAF and dG-AF adducts are distinguished only by the presence or absence of an acetyl group, they have profoundly different effects on DNA replication. dG-AAF poses a strong b...

Dystroglycan (DG or DAG1) is considered a critical link between the basement membrane and the cytoskeleton in multiple tissues. DG consists of two subunits, an extracellular α-subunit that binds laminin and other basement membrane components, and a transmembrane β-subunit. DG-null mouse embryos die during early embryogenesis because DG is required for Reichert's membrane formation. DG also form...

Receptors mediating cell-basement membrane interactions are potent regulators of epithelial architecture and function, and alterations in signals from the basement membrane are implicated in the aberrant behavior of carcinoma cells. In this study, we have investigated the role of the basement membrane receptor dystroglycan (DG) in mammary epithelial cell function, and the significance of loss o...

Chronic subcutaneous (s.c.) administration of d-galactose (DG) to BL/6J mice has been shown to induce oxidative stress and is considered a model to mimic accelerated ageing. Fructo-oligosaccharide (FO) is a well-defined prebiotic and its fermentation by lactic acid bacteria has been shown to exert antioxidative capacity. The present study was aimed to determine whether FO attenuated DG-induced ...
