Thermal denaturation of B. subtilis DNA in H2O and D2O observed by electron microscopy.

چکیده
In the present work we studied the initial part of thermal denaturation curves of B. subtilis DNA in normal and heavy water, observing, by electron microscopy, the "opening" of DNA as a function of temperature. The results support the hypothesis that D(2)O plays a stabilizing role on strands separation during thermal denaturation of DNA.

Stability of water monolayers on Ru(0001): Thermal and electronically induced dissociation
To clarify conflicting reports on the composition and stability of H2O and D2O adsorbates on Ru(0001), we have conducted correlated experiments in two laboratories using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and thermal desorption spectroscopy, without and after controlled electron irradiation. Both species form molecular wetting layers; D2O stays molecular to desorption while H2O undergoes a therma...
متن کاملDynamics and unsteady morphologies at ice interfaces driven by D2O-H2O exchange.
The growth dynamics of D2O ice in liquid H2O in a microfluidic device were investigated between the melting points of D2O ice (3.8 °C) and H2O ice (0 °C). As the temperature was decreased at rates between 0.002 °C/s and 0.1 °C/s, the ice front advanced but retreated immediately upon cessation of cooling, regardless of the temperature. This is a consequence of the competition between diffusion o...

Thermal denaturation of a-Lactalbumin in the absence and presence of various concentrations of sucrose,sorbitol, glucose and galactose as sugar osmolytes were measured by monitoring changes in the absorptions thatcarried out in a Lambd 35 UV-Vis double beam spectrophotometer at pH 6.0. These measurements gave valuesof T., (midpoint of denaturation), AH., (enthalpy change at T.), and ACp (consta...
متن کاملINTERACTION OF DOXORUBICIN WITH DNA-HMG1 COMPLEX
In this study, the interaction of the anthracycline antibiotic doxorubicin with DNA-HMG 1 complex was investigated employing UV/VIS spectroscopy, thermal denaturation and DNA cellulose chromatography techniques. The results indicated that the binding of doxorubicin to the protein reduces its Tm in a dose dependent manner. Although doxorubicin protects free DNA against thermal denaturation ...

In this research the synthesis of [Co(Salen)(PPh3)(H2O)]4[Fe(CN)6] and [Co(Salophen)(PPh3)(H2O)]4[Fe(CN)6] schiff base complexes was reported. Co3O4/CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by calcination of these complexes at 500, 550 and 600°C. Precursor complexes were identified by FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy and their thermal behavior was studied via TG/DTA. Nanomagnetic samples were ...
