Abstract

The knowledge of the enthalpy and entropy of the helix-coil transition in DNA is necessary for the understanding of the stabilization of its native conformation in solution. Reported here is the transition temperature Tm, the transition enthalpy deltaH, determined with the help of an adiabatic scanning calorimeter, the transition entropy deltaS and the breadth of the helix-coil transition as a function of tetramethyl and tetraethyl ammonium chloride concentration.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
