An intercalation-locked parallel-stranded DNA tetraplex
DNA has proved to be an excellent material for nanoscale construction because complementary DNA duplexes are programmable and structurally predictable. However, in the absence of Watson-Crick pairings, DNA can be structurally more diverse. Here, we describe the crystal structures of d(ACTCGGATGAT) and the brominated derivative, d(AC(Br)UCGGA(Br)UGAT). These oligonucleotides form parallel-strand...
متن کاملThreading intercalation to double-stranded DNA and the application to DNA sensing. Electrochemical array technique*
Electrochemical labeling of double-stranded (ds) DNA is achieved by redox-active DNA intercalators. Threading intercalators derived from naphthalenediimide appended with ferrocene reporter group in the side arms are particularly useful for this purpose. This allows a sensitive electrochemical detection of DNA hybridization on an array, providing a great potential for low-cost, high-throughput, ...
متن کاملSequence dependent rigidity of single stranded DNA.
Single stranded DNA (ssDNA) equilibrium dynamics are investigated using a fluorophore/quencher-labeled hairpin structure which thermally fluctuates between open and closed states. Temporal correlations of the fluorescence fluctuations are used to determine the energy barrier to conformational change. We find that ssDNA distortion is purely entropic for poly(T) but requires an additional enthalp...
متن کاملGilvocarcin V exhibits both equilibrium DNA binding and UV light induced DNA adduct formation which is sequence context dependent.
The relative degree of both equilibrium binding and of ultraviolet light induced adduct formation for the antitumor antibiotic gilvocarin V with two hexaecamer DNA sequence isomers, d[ATATATAGCTATATAT]2 and d[AAAAAAAGCTTTTTTT]2, was assessed. The experiments reveal that gilvocarin V binds, under equilibrium conditions, and reacts, in the presence of exogenously applied UV light, more efficientl...
متن کاملDouble-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase-dependent apoptosis induction by a novel small compound.
The interferon-induced, double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) can play critical roles in inhibiting virus replication and inducing apoptosis. To develop new agents that may inhibit viral replication or induce apoptosis in cancer cells via the PKR signaling pathway, we screened a chemical library for compounds that have differential cytotoxic effects on wild-type [mouse embryonic fi...
