Structural analysis of DNA interactions with biogenic polyamines and cobalt(III)hexamine studied by Fourier transform infrared and capillary electrophoresis.
Biogenic polyamines, such as putrescine, spermidine, and spermine are small organic polycations involved in numerous diverse biological processes. These compounds play an important role in nucleic acid function due to their binding to DNA and RNA. It has been shown that biogenic polyamines cause DNA condensation and aggregation similar to that of inorganic cobalt(III)hexamine cation, which has ...
متن کاملDNA condensation by multivalent cations.
In the presence of multivalent cations, high molecular weight DNA undergoes a dramatic condensation to a compact, usually highly ordered toroidal structure. This review begins with an overview of DNA condensation: condensing agents, morphology, kinetics, and reversibility, and the minimum size required to form orderly condensates. It then summarizes the statistical mechanics of the collapse of ...
متن کاملMultivalent ion driven condensation of DNA-actin polyelectrolyte mixtures
– Multivalent ions can induce condensation of like-charged polyelectrolytes into compact states, a process that requires different ion valence for different polyelectrolyte species. We have examined the trivalent ion induced condensation behavior in binary anionic polyelectrolyte mixtures consisting of DNA coils and F-actin rods, and observe a micro-phase separation between the two polyelectrol...

متن کاملCondensation of DNA-actin polyelectrolyte mixtures driven by ions of different valences.
Multivalent ions can induce condensation of like-charged polyelectrolytes into compact states, a process that requires different ion valences for different polyelectrolyte species. In this work we examine the condensation behavior in binary anionic polyelectrolyte mixtures consisting of DNA coils and F-actin rods in the presence of monovalent, divalent, and trivalent ions. As expected, monovale...
