Molecular recognition of B-DNA by Hoechst 33258
The binding sites of Hoechst 33258, netropsin and distamycin on three DNA restriction fragments from plasmid pBR322 were compared by footprinting with methidiumpropyl-EDTA X Fe(II) [MPE X Fe(II)]. Hoechst, netropsin and distamycin share common binding sites that are five +/- one bp in size and rich in A X T DNA base pairs. The five base pair protection patterns for Hoechst may result from a cen...
متن کاملRecognition of B-DNA by neomycin--Hoechst 33258 conjugates.
Recent developments have indicated that aminoglycoside binding is limited not to RNA but to nucleic acids that, like RNA, adopt conformations similar to the A-form. We have further sought to expand the utility of aminoglycoside binding to B-DNA structures by conjugating neomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, with the B-DNA minor groove binding ligand Hoechst 33258. Described herein are novel n...
متن کاملQuantitation of DNA using Hoechst 33258
An essential element of cellular and molecular biology is the ability to quantitate DNA in large numbers of samples at a sensitivity that enables determination of small amounts of sample. Here we describe a fluorescent method to quantitate DNA with Hoechst 33258 dye and the BioTek FL600 fluorescence microplate reader. This assay provides linear results over three orders of magnitude and can rou...
متن کاملDifferent Modes of Binding of Hoechst 33258 with Dna
Spectrophotometric study of Hoechst 33258 binding to DNA has been investigated. It was shown that this ligand forms at least two types of complexes at 0.002 M and 0.02M ionic strengths of solution. One of them is strong, the other is weak. It was revealed that at 0.02M ionic strength of solution, the binding constant value by strong mode is one order higher than at 0.002M. It was obtained that ...
متن کاملBuoyant density of DNA-Hoechst 33258 (bisbenzimide) complexes in CsCl gradients: Hoechst 33258 binds to single AT base pairs.
Buoyant density of DNA in CsCl gradients with Hoechst 33258 (bisbenzimide) was investigated as a function of guanine plus cytosine content of the DNA (%GC; in mole percent). A formula for calculating %GC from the refractive index (nD) of the isopycnic CsCl/Hoechst 33258 solution over the range of 0-75 %GC was established: %GC = 351762.28 X nD - 123778.66 X nD2 - 249789.47 (the coefficients must...
