Ethidium bromide as a marker of mtDNA replication in living cells.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in tumor cells was found to play an important role in maintaining the malignant phenotype. Using laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy (LSCFM) in a recent work, we reported a variable fluorescence intensity of ethidium bromide (EB) in mitochondria nucleoids of living carcinoma cells. Since when EB is bound to nucleic acids its fluorescence is intensified; a h...
متن کاملEthidium bromide as a cooperative effector of a DNA structure.
A salt-induced cooperative conformational transition of a synthetic DNA, poly(dG-dC), is reversed by addition of ethidium bromide. Binding of the dye at high salt concentrations is highly cooperative. Circular dichroism spectra of the complex and the kinetic data support a model for this cooperative binding that is formally equivalent to the "allosteric" one proposed for oligomeric proteins by ...
متن کاملFocal Injection of Ethidium Bromide as a Simple Model to Study Cognitive Deficit and Its Improvement
Introduction: Memory and cognitive impairments are some of devastating outcomes of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) plaques in hippocampus, the gray matter part of the brain. The present study aimed to evaluate the intrahippocampal injection of Ethidium Bromide (EB) as a simple and focal model to assess cognition and gray matter demyelination. Methods: Thirty Wistar rats were divided into three groups:...
متن کاملEthidium bromide resistance, a new marker on the staphylococcal penicillinase plasmid.
A strain of Staphylococcus aureus resistant to ethidium bromide is described. The genetic determinants for the resistance are present on the same plasmid as the penicillinase genes.
متن کاملMechanism of Ethidium Bromide Fluorescence Enhancement on
The mechanism of the enhancement of the fluorescence of ethidium bromide on binding to double helical RNA and DNA has been investigated. From an examination of the effect of different solvents on the fluorescence lifetime, quenching of fluorescence by proton acceptors, and the substantial lengthening of lifetime observed upon deuteration of the amino protons, regardless of the medium, we conclu...
