Circular dichroism and conformational polymorphism of DNA
Here we review studies that provided important information about conformational properties of DNA using circular dichroic (CD) spectroscopy. The conformational properties include the B-family of structures, A-form, Z-form, guanine quadruplexes, cytosine quadruplexes, triplexes and other less characterized structures. CD spectroscopy is extremely sensitive and relatively inexpensive. This fast a...
متن کاملConformational state of DNA in chromatin subunits. Circular dichroism, melting, and ethidium bromide binding analysis.
This study compares some physical properties of DNA in native chromatin and mono-, di-, trinucleosomes obtained after mild micrococcal nuclease digestion. Melting curves and derivatives are shown to be very similar from one sample to another although a shift from 79 to 82 degrees C is observed between the mainly monophasic peak of multimers and chromatin. Careful analysis of the positive band o...
متن کاملCircular dichroism and DNA secondary structure.
The change in average rotation of the DNA helix has been determined for the transfer from 0.05 M NaCl to 3.0 M CsCl, 6.2 M LiCl and 5.4 M NH4Cl. This work, combined with data at lower salt from other laboratories, allows us to relate the intensity of the CD of DNA at 275 nm directly to the change in the number of base pairs per turn. The change in secondary structure for the transfer of DNA fro...
متن کاملCircular Dichroism of C-Phycoerythrin: A Conformational Analysis
An extensive study o f the chiroptical properties o f C-phycoerythrin and the aand ^-subunits in the spectral region from 700 200 nm is presented. Based on the VIS-circular dichroism inherently chiral conformations are proposed for the co valently linked chromophores. By means o f mean residue ellipticities and the experimental circular dichroism spectra in the region o f the n -* n* peptide t...
متن کاملSolvent Induced Circular Dichroism in Conformational Analysis: Bile Pigments
The applicability of solvent induced circular dichroism (SICD) for the conformational analysis of bile pigments has been investigated. The S-(—)-ethyl lactate induced rotational strengths for octaethylbilindion (4) and its dihydroderivative 5 are remarkably high. Related compounds, e.g. the isomeric purpurines 1 and 2 and formyltripyrrinon 3 exhibit an optical activity which is smaller by more ...
