A small angle x-ray scattering study of a fragment derived from E. coli 5S RNA.

چکیده
The structure of a 62 base nuclease resistant fragment of E. coli 5S RNA (bases 1-11, 69-87, 89-120) has been examined by small angle x-ray scattering. The results obtained are indistinguishable from those expected if this oligonucleotide complex were a perfect RNA double helix of about 30 base pairs. These results indicate that this portion of 5S RNA is in a configuration which is approximately double helical, even though proper base pairing is possible over only half its length.

A large 12S RNA fragment which constitutes the 5' two-thirds of 16S-RNA from the E. coli 30S subunit has been investigated by small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering. The results indicate that in reconstitution buffer the 12S-RNA fragment has a molecular weight of 270,000 +/- 20,000 and a radius of gyration of 7.1 nm. The scattering data are compatible with the RNA being folded into two major ...

The aim of this work is to probe the influence of nanoclay and turmeric spends content on microcrystalline of vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites. A series of vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites have been fabricated with varying amounts of TS viz., 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 % w/w along with 2% nanoclay. The microcrystalline parameters such as crystallite size and lattice strain of vinyl ester hybrid na...
متن کاملUse of small-angle X-ray scattering to resolve intracellular structure changes of Escherichia coli cells induced by antibiotic treatment1
The application of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to whole Escherichia coli cells is challenging owing to the variety of internal constituents. To resolve their contributions, the outer shape was captured by ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering and combined with the internal structure resolved by SAXS. Building on these data, a model for the major structural components of E. coli was develop...

In this research, CuO spherical-like nanoparticles were synthesized using the planetary ball mill method. The structure, particle size and morphology of the resulting CuO nanoparticles were characterized by XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and SAXS (small-angle X-ray scattering) methods. The results of this investigation showed ...
