Effect of Helium-Neon Laser and Sodium Hypochlorite on Calf Thymus Double-Stranded Deoxyribonucleic Acid Molecule: An in Vitro Experimental Study
Introduction: Low-energy helium-neon (He-Ne) laser beam lightis used in combination with sodium hypochlorite (Na2HOCl3) for clinical purposes. Regarding this, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of He-Ne laser (632.8 nm) and sodium hypochlorite on the calf thymus double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (ctdsDNA) molecule. Materials and Methods: For the purpose of the study, ctdsDNA...
متن کاملSingle-stranded DNA curtains for real-time single-molecule visualization of protein-nucleic acid interactions.
Single-molecule imaging of biological macromolecules has dramatically impacted our understanding of many types of biochemical reactions. To facilitate these studies, we have established new strategies for anchoring and organizing DNA molecules on the surfaces of microfluidic sample chambers that are otherwise coated with fluid lipid bilayers. This previous work was reliant upon the use of doubl...
متن کاملForce-activated DNA substrates for probing individual proteins interacting with single-stranded DNA
Single-molecule force spectroscopy provides insight into how proteins bind to and move along DNA. Such studies often embed a single-stranded (ss) DNA region within a longer double-stranded (ds) DNA molecule. Yet, producing these substrates remains laborious and inefficient, particularly when using the traditional three-way hybridization. Here, we developed a force-activated substrate that yield...
متن کاملDiffusion of human replication protein A along single-stranded DNA.
Replication protein A (RPA) is a eukaryotic single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding protein that plays critical roles in most aspects of genome maintenance, including replication, recombination and repair. RPA binds ssDNA with high affinity, destabilizes DNA secondary structure and facilitates binding of other proteins to ssDNA. However, RPA must be removed from or redistributed along ssDNA during ...
متن کاملEntrapment of DNA in an intersubunit tunnel system of a single-stranded DNA-binding protein
Instead of a classical single-stranded deoxyribonuleic acid (DNA)-binding protein (SSB), some hyperthermophilic crenarchaea harbor a non-canonical SSB termed ThermoDBP. Two related but poorly characterized groups of proteins, which share the ThermoDBP N-terminal DNA-binding domain, have a broader phylogenetic distribution and co-exist with ThermoDBPs and/or other SSBs. We have investigated the ...
