The binding of three analogues of the minor-groove binding antiviral antibiotic distamycin (Dst) with double-stranded (ds)-DNA were monitored using ds-DNA melting temperature (Tm) measurements, ethidium bromide (EtBr) displacement assay, footprinting analysis and induced circular dichroism (ICD). These compounds contained 3-5
A large combinatorial phage display library was panned against five nucleic acid antigens, calf thymus DNA, poly[d(GC)], poly[d(AT)], poly(dA) x poly(dT) and poly(rA) x poly(dT). After the third and fourth rounds of panning, many positive clones were selected against poly[d(GC)]
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
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
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
