Determination of molecular weights by fluctuation spectroscopy: application to DNA.
A method for determining molecular weights of macromolecules by measuring spontaneous concentration fluctuations is described. The method is absolute, rapid, and requires no shearing forces on the molecules. We have applied this technique to the determination of molecular weight of DNA molecules. The molecular weight values obtained for T2 phage DNA (1.14 X 10(8)) and replicating Escherichia co...
متن کاملFLUCTUATION CORRELATION SPECTROSCOPY IN CELLS: Determination of molecular aggregation
Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) was first introduced by Elson, Madge and Webb (1-5) for studying the binding process between ethydium bromide and DNA. When the ethydium dye binds to DNA its fluorescence quantum yield changes by a large factor. It is essentially not fluorescent when free in solution and it becomes strongly fluorescent when bound to double strand DNA. Although the pro...
متن کاملApplication of DNA Molecular Markers in Plant Breeding (Review article)
Plant Breeding has utilized a wide range of techniques and methods to improve the quality and quantity of plants. The molecular markers are the tools that have provided a new perspective for plant breeding advancements. This article has reviewed the various advantages and uses of molecular markers and the utilization of the high potential of natural polymorphisms within communities, combined wi...
متن کاملIndirect Determination of Ascorbic Acid by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
A new and simple method followed by atomic absorption spectrometry has been developedfor indirect determination of ascorbic acid (AA). The proposed method was based on the oxidationof AA to dehydroascorbic acid with Cu2+cation(200mgL-1)in an ammonium thiocyanatesolution atpH2.4. AA reduces Cu2+to Cu+followed by the precipitation of Cu+ with SCN-. Then, the excess ofCu2+in the solution was measu...
متن کاملApplication of approach to equilibrium analytical ultracentrifugation (Archibald method) to the determination of molecular weights of humic substances.
Huniic substances (fulvic and humic acids) are the decomposition products of plant material and constitute a major part of the earth's organic carbon [ 11. Their presence in aquatic ecosystems is important because of their binding capacity for protons. metal ions (geocycling) and organic micropollutants such as pesticides and herbicides [2]. The characterisation of humic substances in ternis of...
