Localization of the major ethidium bromide binding site on tRNA.
Binding of ethidium bromide to Escherichia coli tRNAVal and an RNA minihelix based on the acceptor stem and T-arm of tRNAVal was investigated by 19F and 1H NMR spectroscopy of RNAs labeled with fluorine by incorporation of 5-fluorouracil. Ethidium bromide selectively intercalates into the acceptor stem of the tRNAVal. More than one ethidium bromide binding site is found in the acceptor stem, th...
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...
متن کاملSpectroelectrochemistry study on the electrochemical reduction of ethidium bromide.
The electrochemical reduction mechanism of ethidium bromide was first studied by spectroelectrochemistry. This reduction was proved to be a two-step process by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry, in which each step was proved to be a one-electron transfer process by a spectropotentiostatic fluorescence technique. Hydroethidine was confirmed to be the ...
متن کاملEthidium bromide-resistant mutant of Bacillus subtilis.
An ethidium bromide-resistant mutant (EB8) derived from a Marburg strain of Bacillus subtilis was found to be conditionally resistant to 10 mug of ethidium bromide per ml. Expression of resistance is complete only during vegetative growth at incubation temperatures above 30 C in complex medium or minimal medium supplemented with Casamino Acids. Strain EB8 is cross-resistant to acriflavine and p...
متن کاملEthidium bromide changes the nuclease-sensitive DNA binding sites of the antitumor drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II).
Exonuclease III has been shown previously to reveal the binding sites of the antitumor drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) on DNA. Pretreatment of the same DNA with the intercalator ethidium bromide causes new platinum binding sites to be detected by the exonuclease III method. In particular, a 5'd(G6-D-G2)3' sequence in a 165-base-pair restriction fragment of plasmid pBR322 becomes a preferr...
