Rates of formation and thermal stabilities of RNA:DNA and DNA:DNA duplexes at high concentrations of formamide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The thermal stabilities of RNA:DNA hybrids are substantially greater than those of DNA:DNA duplexes in aqueous electrolyte solutions containing high concentrations of formamide. Association rates to form DNA:DNA duplexes and DNA:RNA hybrids have been measured in these solvents. There is a temperature range in which DNA:DNA rates are negligible and RNA:DNA rates close to optimal.

RNA:DNA hybrids are more stable than DNA:DNA duplexes in concentrated perchlorate and trichloroacetate solutions.
Rates of formation of RNA:DNA hybrids have been measured as a function of temperature and compared to DNA:RNA duplex denaturation temperatures in 4 M sodium perchlorate, 4 M NaClO4-6 M urea, and 3 M rubidium trichloracetate solvents. The usual bell shaped curves of reaction rate versus temperature were observed. The optimal temperatures for the RNA:DNA association reaction are 5 degrees to 12 d...
متن کاملLocked Nucleic Acids (LNAs)
With few exceptions, experimental success in molecular biology is dependent upon specific, discriminating, and persistent hybridization events involving synthetic oligonucleotides and their complementary target sequences. While unmodified oligodeoxynucleotides will routinely form desired DNA:DNA and DNA:RNA duplexes, synthesis of various modifications that confer enhanced high-affinity recognit...
متن کاملSynthesis of Different Copper Oxide Nano-Structures From Direct Thermal Decomposition of Porous Copper(ΙΙ) Metal-Organic Framework Precursors
Copper oxide nanostructures have been successfully synthesized via one-step solid-state thermolysis of two metal-organic frameworks, [Cu3(btc)2] (1) and [Cu(tpa).(dmf)] (2), (btc = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate, tpa = therephtalic acid = 1,4-benzendicarboxylic acid and dmf = dimethyl formamide) under air atmosphere at 400, 500, and 600°C. It has also been found that the reaction temperature pla...
متن کاملDeoxyribonucleic acid homology in bacterial taxonomy: effect of incubation temperature on reaction specificity.
Parameters affecting deoxyribonucleic acid duplex (DNA-DNA) formation on membrane filters were evaluated. The reference strains used were Cytophaga succinicans strain 8, which has a guanine plus cytosine (GC) content of 38%, and Myxococcus xanthus strain FB, which has a GC content of 70%. Both organisms are gliding bacteria classified among the myxobacteria. Among the parameters evaluated, the ...
متن کاملBiophysical properties, thermal stability and functional impact of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine on oligonucleotides of RNA—a study of duplex, hairpins and the aptamer for preQ1 as models
8-10 A better understanding of the effects that oxidative lesions have on RNA is of importance to understand their role in the development/progression of disease. 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine was incorporated into RNA to understand its structural and functional impact on RNA:RNA and RNA:DNA duplexes, hairpins and pseudoknots. One to three modifications were incorporated into dodecamers of RNA [AAGA...
