Sequence-dependent effects in drug-DNA interaction: the crystal structure of Hoechst 33258 bound to the d(CGCAAATTTGCG)2 duplex.
The bis-benzimidazole drug Hoechst 33258 has been co-crystallized with the dodecanucleotide sequence d(CGCAAATTTGCG)2. The structure has been solved by molecular replacement and refined to an R factor of 18.5% for 2125 reflections collected on a Xentronics area detector. The drug is bound in the minor groove, at the five base-pair site 5'-ATTTG and is in a unique orientation. This is displaced ...
متن کاملthe effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends
flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
Designer DNA-binding drugs: the crystal structure of a meta-hydroxy analogue of Hoechst 33258 bound to d(CGCGAATTCGCG)2.
An analogue of the DNA binding compound Hoechst 33258, which has the para hydroxyl group altered to be at the meta position, together with the replacement of one benzimidazole group by pyridylimidazole, has been cocrystallized with the dodecanucleotide sequence d(CGCGAATTCGCG)2. The X-ray structure has been determined at 2.2 A resolution and refined to an R factor of 20.1%. The ligand binds in ...
متن کاملInteraction of Hoechst 33258 and ethidium with histone1-DNA condensates.
We report structural and dynamical aspects of DNAs from various sources including synthetic oligonucleotides in bulk buffer and as a complex with histone1 (H1). High-resolution transmission electron microscopic (HRTEM) studies reveal the structural change of the DNAs upon complexation with H1 leading to formation of compact-globular and hollow-toroidal particles. In order to explore the functio...
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...
