Visualization of complexes of Hoechst 33258 and DNA duplexes in solution by atomic force microscopy.
Tertiary structure changes in DNA duplexes, induced by Hoechst 33258 binding, have been examined by the use of atomic force microscopy. Besides minor groove binding, which is an established mode of binding for this drug, Hoechst 33258 has now been found to show another binding mode, which causes an unwinding of the duplex. When the drug concentration is as high as 0.5 microg/ml, the Hoechst 332...
متن کاملDirect Visualization of Vesicle - Bilayer Complexes by Atomic Force Microscopy
Interactions between phospholipid vesicles and bilayers play a central role in cell physiology, enabling secretion, signaling, and intracellular transport. In many instances these processes require fusion between membranes. Considerable attention has been paid to acquiring the structural details of proteins that mediate fusion;1 however, less is known about the structure and organization of lip...
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...
متن کاملVisualization of mobility by atomic force microscopy.
Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of proteins are very thin and hence hard to be visualized by electron microscopy. Thus far, only high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) can visualize them. The molecular movies identify the alignment of IDRs and ordered regions in an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) and show undulation motion of the IDRs. The visualized tail-like structures con...
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...
