Kinetics of renaturation of DNA.
The rate of renaturation of fully denatured DNA is kinetically a second-order reaction. The reaction rate increases as the temperature decreases below T,t, reaching a broad flat maximum from 15 to 30°C below T, and then decreases with a further decrease in temperature. Let N be the complexity of the DNA or the number of base-pairs iu non-repeating sequences per virus or cell for the given DNA, ...
متن کاملStudies on nucleic acid reassociation kinetics: reactivity of single-stranded tails in DNA-DNA renaturation.
The reassociation kinetics of Escherichia coli DNA were measured by S1 nuclease resistance and hydroxyapatite binding. While the reaction assayed by hydroxyapatite displays second order kinetics, the S1 nuclease measurements follow a non-second order from, as previously reported by Morrow (Ph.D. Dissertation, Stanford University. 1974). Much of the reaction measured with S1 nuclease occurs betw...
متن کاملHybridization and renaturation kinetics of nucleic acids.
When two DNA or RNA molecules contain sequences of nucleotides that are complementary to one another, they are able to come together to form a double helix with all of the bases paired. If both strands are DNA, the process is usually called renaturation or reassociation; if one strand is DNA and the other is RNA, the process is called hybridization. These essentially identical processes form th...
متن کاملComplementary recognition in condensed DNA: accelerated DNA renaturation.
The functional consequences of DNA condensation are investigated. The recognition of complementary strands is profoundly modified by this critical phenomenon. (1) Condensation of denatured DNA greatly accelerates the kinetics of DNA renaturation. We propose a unifying explanation for the effects of several accelerating solvents studied here including polymers, di- and multivalent cations, as we...
متن کاملDNA renaturation at the water-phenol interface.
We study the renaturation of complementary single-stranded DNAs in a water-phenol two-phase system, with or without shaking. In very dilute solutions, each single-stranded DNA is strongly adsorbed at the interface at high salt concentrations. The adsorption of the single-stranded DNA is specific to phenol and relies on stacking and hydrogen bonding. We establish the interfacial nature of DNA re...
