Energy transfer in modified DNA.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Energy transfer at room temperature and in aqueous solution between two hydrocarbon chromophores, 2-acetylaminofluorene and 7-methylbenz(a)anthracene, covalently attached to DNA and to homopolynucleotide models is described. Transfer, as evidenced by changes in fluorescence intensity and polarization, is a function of secondary structure.

Direct DNA Immobilization onto a Carbon Nanotube Modified Electrode: Study on the Influence of pH and Ionic Strength
Over the past years, DNA biosensors have been developed to analyze DNA interaction and damage that have important applications in biotechnological researches. The immobilization of DNA onto a substrate is one key step for construction of DNA electrochemical biosensors. In this report, a direct approach has been described for immobilization of single strand DNA onto carboxylic acid-functionalize...
متن کاملDNA Base Pair Resolution Measurements Using Resonance Energy Transfer Efficiency in Lanthanide Doped Nanoparticles
Lanthanide-doped nanoparticles are of considerable interest for biodetection and bioimaging techniques thanks to their unique chemical and optical properties. As a sensitive luminescence material, they can be used as (bio) probes in Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) where trivalent lanthanide ions (La3+) act as energy donors. In this paper we present an efficient method to transfer ultra...

In the present work, the modified nickel electrode was electrochemically fabricated and tested for the electro-oxidation of paracetamol in alkaline media. The methods of cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA), and impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to determine kinetic parameters such as transfer coefficient (α), the catalytic reaction rate constants (k), and the diffusion coeffici...
متن کاملA blue-to-red energy-transfer thymidine analogue that functions in DNA.
The thymidine analogue 1 is a blue-to-red energy transfer cassette designed to absorb UV light in the 300 nm region and emit it as fluorescence at around 520 nm. When incorporated into DNA, the fluorescence intensity of this modified nucleobase is not significantly reduced by the surrounding structure in the oligonucleotides. [structure--see text]
متن کاملStructural and kinetic studies of a cisplatin-modified DNA icosamer binding to HMG1 domain B.
The high mobility group (HMG) domain is a DNA-binding motif found in the non-histone chromosomal proteins, HMG1 and HMG2, and some transcription factors. Experimental evidence has demonstrated that HMG-domain proteins can play a role in sensitizing cells to the anticancer drug cisplatin. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiments were performed in the present study to investigate...
