Microscopic mechanism for cold denaturation.
We elucidate the mechanism of cold denaturation through constant-pressure simulations for a model of hydrophobic molecules in an explicit solvent. We find that the temperature dependence of the hydrophobic effect induces, facilitates, and is the driving force for cold denaturation. The physical mechanism underlying this phenomenon is identified as the destabilization of hydrophobic contact in f...
متن کاملReassociation of histone H1 to H1-depleted polynucleosomes.
A new procedure is described for the reassociation of histone H1 to rat liver polynucleosomes selectively depleted of H1 and nonhistone proteins. The fidelity of reconstitution was scrutinized by nuclease digestion and sedimentation studies monitoring the regeneration of structural features which disappear following removal of H1. The results demonstrate that the 166-base pair barrier of digest...
متن کاملDirect observation of large temperature fluctuations during DNA thermal denaturation.
In this Letter, we report direct measurement of large low frequency temperature fluctuations in double stranded DNA when it undergoes a denaturation transition. The fluctuation, which occurs only in the temperature range where the denaturation occurs, is several orders more than the expected equilibrium fluctuation. It is absent in single stranded DNA of the same sequence. The fluctuation at a ...
متن کاملUnfolding and aggregation during the thermal denaturation of streptokinase.
The thermal denaturation of streptokinase from Streptococcus equisimilis (SK) together with that of a set of fragments encompassing each of its three domains has been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Analysis of the effects of pH, sample concentration and heating rates on the DSC thermograms has allowed us to find conditions where thermal unfolding occurs unequivocall...
متن کاملRearrangement of chromatin domains during development in Xenopus.
A dynamic change in the organization of different gene domains transcribed by RNA polymerase I, II, or III occurs during the progression from quiescent [pre-midblastula transition (pre-MBT)] to active (post-MBT) embryos during Xenopus development. In the rDNA, c-myc, and somatic 5S gene domains, a transition from random to specific anchorage to the nuclear matrix occurs when chromatin domains b...
