Binding Mechanisms of Methylene Blue and Hoechst 33258 with Dna
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work the data of methylene blue (MB) and Hoechst 33258 interaction with DNA are presented. It has been shown that at 0.002 M ionic strength of solution MB is bound to double-stranded DNA by three modes: intercalation, semi-intercalation and electrostatic. It was revealed that at higher ionic strengths of solution complete intercalation of MB becomes thermodynamically unacceptable. It was shown that Hoechst 33258 was bound to DNA by two types – “strong” and “weak”. It was also shown that the “strong” type of Hoechst 33258 binding depends on solution ionic strength.

Mechanism of Calf thymus DNA radioprotection by sucrose: A combined effect of scavenging action and altered water
Background: Development of safe radioprotector is a challenging task. In this study radioprotective effect of sucrose has been demonstrated in calf thymus DNA (CtDNA). Sucrose is a free radical scavenger and also acts as osmolyte and therefore can influence the water activity around DNA and effects of radiation on DNA. Hoechst 33258 was used to probe the possible alteration in physicochemical p...
متن کاملVisualization 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...

Recent developments have indicated that aminoglycoside binding is limited not to RNA but to nucleic acids that, like RNA, adopt conformations similar to the A-form. We have further sought to expand the utility of aminoglycoside binding to B-DNA structures by conjugating neomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, with the B-DNA minor groove binding ligand Hoechst 33258. Described herein are novel n...

Hoechst 33258 belongs to bisbenzimidazole class of molecules having anticancer properties for their ability to inhibit topoisomerase and many other cellular processes. The aim of the present study is to understand the nature of Hoechst 33258-bovine serum albumin (BSA) binding interactions by using absorption, fluorescence and circular dichrorism (CD) measurements under simulative physiological ...

Spectrophotometric study of Hoechst 33258 binding to DNA has been investigated. It was shown that this ligand forms at least two types of complexes at 0.002 M and 0.02M ionic strengths of solution. One of them is strong, the other is weak. It was revealed that at 0.02M ionic strength of solution, the binding constant value by strong mode is one order higher than at 0.002M. It was obtained that ...
