The binding modes of the free-base meso-tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin (TMPyP) complexed with [d(AT)n]2 oligonucleotides (where n=3-8, corresponding to 6 to 16 AT base pairs) were studied by circular dichroism (CD). When associated with the shortest oligonucleotide, ([d(AT)3]2), a bisignate CD spectrum was

A DNA duplex can be recognized sequence-specifically in the major groove by an oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN). The resulting structure is a DNA triple helix, or triplex. The scientific community has invested significant research capital in the study of DNA triplexes because
We report direct measurements of electrical transport through poly(dA)-poly(dT) and poly(dG)-poly(dC) DNA molecules containing identical base pairs. The observed experimental results suggest that electrical transport through DNA molecules occurs by polaron hopping. We have also investigated the effect of gate
CD and uv absorption data showed that high molecular weight poly(dA-dT) . poly(dA-dT), at 298 K, undergoes an acid-induced transition from B-double helix to random coil in NaCl solutions of different concentrations, ranging from 0.005 to 0.600M. Similarly, titration of
IR-spectrometry and thermopiezogravimetry are used to study the structure formation and the water environment of the double-helix Na-poly(dA)-poly(dT) complex in films in the 0-100% interval of the relative humidity (RH). It has been found that three different structures of the
Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
