Vibrational stark effect probes for nucleic acids.
The vibrational Stark effect (VSE) has proven to be an effective method for the study of electric fields in proteins via the use of infrared probes. To explore the use of VSE in nucleic acids, we investigated the Stark spectroscopy of nine structurally diverse nucleosides. These nucleosides contained nitrile or azide probes in positions that correspond to both the major and minor grooves of DNA...
متن کاملVibrational Stark effects calibrate the sensitivity of vibrational probes for electric fields in proteins.
Infrared spectroscopy is widely used to probe local environments and dynamics in proteins. The introduction of a unique vibration at a specific site of a protein or more complex assembly offers many advantages over observing the spectra of an unmodified protein. We have previously shown that infrared frequency shifts in proteins can arise from differences in the local electric field at the prob...
متن کاملTransient Conformational Changes of Sensory Rhodopsin II Investigated by Vibrational Stark Effect Probes.
Sensory rhodopsin II (SRII) is the primary light sensor in the photophobic reaction of the halobacterium Natronomonas pharaonis. Photoactivation of SRII results in a movement of helices F and G of this seven-helical transmembrane protein. This conformational change is conveyed to the transducer protein (HtrII). Global changes in the protein backbone have been monitored by IR difference spectros...
متن کاملZn2+-dependent peptide nucleic acids probes.
Binding of bis-picolylamine-naphthalene diimide-peptide nucleic acid conjugates to complementary DNA is strongly dependent upon Zn2+; ultimately, hybridization is switched ON in the presence muM Zn2+.
متن کاملLectins and nucleic acids as molecular probes
Lectins are biomolecules with high affinity and narrow range of specificity for defined sugar residues so that they can be used as selective probes for the detection of glycoconjugate glycosylation. A large number of lectins with differing specificities have been identified and found in a variety of plants, invertebrates and vertebrates. Due to their high specificity and multiple functions, lec...
