Yolk proteins from nematodes, chickens, and frogs bind strongly and preferentially to left-handed Z-DNA.
Yolk proteins purified from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, from the frog Xenopus laevis, and from chicken eggs all have the unexpected property of binding strongly and preferentially to a left-handed Z-DNA probe, brominated poly(dG-dC). We estimate that the nematode proteins bind to Z-DNA with an association constant of at least 10(4) (M-1) and that this association constant is at least 4...
متن کاملLighting up left-handed Z-DNA: photoluminescent carbon dots induce DNA B to Z transition and perform DNA logic operations
Left-handed Z-DNA has been identified as a transient structure occurred during transcription. DNA B-Z transition has attracted much attention because of not only Z-DNA biological importance but also their relation to disease and DNA nanotechnology. Recently, photoluminescent carbon dots, especially highly luminescent nitrogen-doped carbon dots, have attracted much attention on their application...
متن کاملAlzheimer's disease amyloid beta converting left-handed Z-DNA back to right-handed B-form.
Herein we report that Aβ aggregates, not Aβ monomer, can convert Z-DNA back to B-form, and curcumin, a well-known Aβ aggregation inhibitor, can stop DNA Z-B transition studied by means of biophysical and biochemical methods.
متن کاملEvidence for a new Z-type left-handed DNA helix: properties of Z(WC)-DNA.
The structure of Z-DNA, currently accepted as a model for all left-handed DNAs, fails to provide convincing explanations for at least four well established properties of left-handed DNA polymers in solution. However, the major discrepancies between theory and experiment are resolved by the structure presently proposed for Z[WC]-DNA, a new left-handed, zig-zag double helix with Watson-Crick-type...
متن کاملپرده صماخ و چپ دستها T.M and left handed
ABCTRACT: To find out what percentage of the men are left-handed or as a rule use their left hand for writing or do precise or complicated jobs is to question them directly. Neurologists believe that less than 10 percent of people are left - handed. In our study, we should like to know the correct percentage of the men living in Rasht are left -handed . This study is statistically based on m...
