Abstract

We have recently reported the cation-induced self-assembly of DNA oligomers of the general sequence C4T4G4T1-4G4 into high-molecular weight multistranded structures [Marotta, S.P., Tamburri, P.A., and Sheardy, R.D. (1996) Biochemistry 35, 10484-10492]. The architecture of the proposed structure consists of a series of four leafed G4 tetrads tethered together via one or two T1-4 strands and thus resembles a long four-sided hollow tube with periodic "pockets". These pockets possess electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic contact points and should be ideal candidates for the binding of small molecules. To assess the potential of using porphyrins as probes for these structures, we have investigated the interaction of tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphine (H2TMPyP) with the simple quadruplex formed by T4G4 and with the duplex formed by CGCGATATCGCG. Visible absorption, circular dichroism, and fluorescent energy transfer studies indicate that H2TMPyP binds to both the duplex and quadruplex via intercalation at low [porphyrin]/[DNA molecule] ratios, i.e., in the presence of excess potential DNA binding sites. Analyses of Scatchard plots show that H2TMpyP binds with high affinity to both DNA secondary structures but binds to the...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.
