HPLC-UV, MALDI-TOF-MS and ESI-MS/MS Analysis of the Mechlorethamine DNA Crosslink at a Cytosine-Cytosine Mismatch Pair
BACKGROUND Mechlorethamine [ClCH(2)CH(2)N(CH(3))CH(2)CH(2)Cl], a nitrogen mustard alkylating agent, has been proven to form a DNA interstrand crosslink at a cytosine-cytosine (C-C) mismatch pair using gel electrophoresis. However, the atomic connectivity of this unusual crosslink is unknown. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS HPLC-UV, MALDI-TOF-MS, and ESI-MS/MS were used to determine the atomic ...
متن کاملHplc-uv Determination of a Mechlorethamine Crosslink in a Dna Duplex Containing a Cytosine-cytosine Mismatch Pair
Mechlorethamine is a nitrogen mustard that can form a crosslink at a C-C mismatch pair in a DNA duplex. These pairs may occur in DNA structures linked with Fragile X syndrome, a triplet repeat expansion disease, and mechlorethamine may be a useful probe for these structures. The molecular structure of the mechlorethamine C-C crosslink has not been determined, in part due to the poor recovery of...
متن کاملInsertion of a bulky rhodium complex into a DNA cytosine-cytosine mismatch: an NMR solution study.
The bulky octahedral complex Rh(bpy)2chrysi3+ (chrysi = 5,6-chrysenequinonediimine) binds single-base mismatches in a DNA duplex with micromolar binding affinities and high selectivity. Here we present an NMR solution study to characterize the binding mode of this bulky metal complex with its target CC mismatch in the oligonucleotide duplex (5'-CGGACTCCG-3')2. Both NOESY and COSY studies indica...
متن کاملMALDI-TOF-MS analysis of protein and DNA.
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) has become a powerful and widespread analytical tool in all fields of life science. The wide mass range (1-300 kDa), high accuracy, and sensitivity make it a superior method for analysis of all kinds of biomolecules including proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. In combination with 2D-gelelectroph...
متن کاملDossier MALDI - TOF ■ Oligonucleotide analysis by MALDI - MS
Matrix-assisted laser desorption (MALDI) time-offlight (TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) has been successfully used for oligonucleotide sequence confirmation by mass analysis of fragments generated by concentration-dependent exonuclease digestion. This approach is particularly well-suited to the analysis of synthetic DNA due to the relatively short length of the DNA strands. Additionally, an importa...
