A rhodium(III) complex for high-affinity DNA base-pair mismatch recognition.
A rhodium(III) complex, rac-[Rh(bpy)(2)phzi](3+) (bpy, 2,2'-bipyridine; phzi, benzo[a]phenazine-5,6-quinone diimine) has been designed as a sterically demanding intercalator targeted to destabilized mismatched sites in double-helical DNA. The complex is readily synthesized by condensation of the phenazine quinone with the corresponding diammine complex. Upon photoactivation, the complex promote...
متن کاملConstruction of a Synthetic Vector for Preparation of a 100 Base Pair DNA Ladder
DNA size markers are widely used to estimate the size of DNA samples on agarose or polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis (PAGE). DNA markers can be prepared by mixing PCR products with definite sizes.Alternatively, they are prepared by restriction enzyme digestion of the genomic DNA of bacteriophages ornatural and synthetic DNA plasmids. The present study describes engineering of ...
متن کاملA zinc finger directory for high-affinity DNA recognition.
We have used two monovalent phage display libraries containing variants of the Zif268 DNA-binding domain to obtain families of zinc fingers that bind to alterations in the last 4 bp of the DNA sequence of the Zif268 consensus operator, GCG TGGGCG. Affinity selection was performed by altering the Zif268 operator three base pairs at a time, and simultaneously selecting for sets of 16 related DNA ...
متن کاملDetection of a single DNA base-pair mismatch using an anthracene-tagged fluorescent probe.
A novel anthracene-tagged oligonucleotide can discriminate between a fully-matched DNA target sequence and one with a single mismatching base-pair through a remarkable difference in fluorescence emission intensity upon duplex formation.
متن کاملStructural characterisation of the bromouracil.guanine base pair mismatch in a Z-DNA fragment.
The deoxyoligonucleotide d(BrU-G-C-G-C-G) was crystallised at pH 8.2 and its structure analysed by X-ray diffraction. The unit cell, of dimensions a = 17.94, b = 30.85, c = 49.94A contains four DNA duplexes in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). The duplexes are in the Z conformation, with four Watson-Crick G.C base pairs and two BrU.G base pairs. The structure was refined to an R factor of 0.16 at a re...
