A low repeat length in oligodendrocyte chromatin
1985
Abstract: The behavior of oligodendrocyte chromatin after micrococcal nuclease digestion of nuclei was assayed in brains of rats of four different ages. During oligodendrocyte differentiation, a decreasing sensitivity of the chromatin to enzymatic attack was observed. On the other hand, the nucleosomal repeat length showed a slight tendency to increase during development. It is worth noting that even the highest values reported here for “oligodendrocyte’ chromatin repeat lengths are significantly lower than 200 base pairs, the value previously reported by others for “non‐astrocytic glia.” Copyright © 1985, Wiley Blackwell.

DNA condensation with spermine dendrimers: interactions in solution, charge inversion, and morphology control
2011
In this report, we characterize the formation of structured condensates of 884 base pair, double stranded DNA and spin-labeled, second generation dendrons (SL-G2) that are spermine-based and cationic using continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (CW EPR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The electrostatic interaction between DNA and SL-G2 in solution leads to condensation of DNA into densely packed structures. At a particular charge ratio of 2.3 (cationic charges/anionic charges), the structures appear as thick rod-like condensates of parallelly ordered, stretched DNA and SL-G2. Depending on the concentration of DNA, the charge ratio and the ionic strength, wh…
Usefulness of omp1 restriction mapping for avian Chlamydia psittaci isolate differentiation
1995
Abstract Sixty-five avian Chlamydia psittaci isolates collected worldwide, including 27 previously characterized reference strains, were analysed by restriction mapping of the major outer membrane protein gene ( omp1 ) obtained after DMA amplification by PCR. They were compared to 2 ruminant isolates, a feline pneumonitis and a guinea pig inclusion conjunctivitis (GPIC) isolate. According to their omp1 restriction patterns, avian strains were heterogeneous in that they exhibited 6 and 4 distinct patterns using Alu I and Mbo II restriction enzymes, respectively, thus defining 7 groups. However, 84% of the studied strains belonged to groups 1 to 4, which share a specific fragment triplet of 4…
The selective synthesis of metallanucleosides and metallanucleotides: a new tool for the functionalization of nucleic acids.
2012
Nucleobases team up: the efficient and selective preparation of purine-derived metallanucleosides, metallanucleotides, and metalladinucleotides having M-C bonds (M=Ir(III), Rh(III)) is reported for the first time. The results presented may be applied to the synthesis of functionalized nucleic acids, or DNA/RNA-modified segments.
Toward the development of metal-based synthetic nucleases: DNA binding and oxidative DNA cleavage of a mixed copper(II) complex with N-(9H-purin-6-yl…
2009
Abstract The complex [Cu(N9-ABS)(phen) 2 ]·3.6H 2 O, H 2 N9-ABS = N -(9 H -purin-6-yl)benzenesulfonamide and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, has been synthesized and then characterized with the aid of X-ray diffraction, analytical, and spectroscopic techniques. The geometry of Cu(II) is distorted square pyramidal with the equatorial positions occupied by three N atoms from two phenantroline molecules and one N atom from the adenine ring of the sulfonamide ligand. The interaction of the complex with DNA was studied by means of viscosity measurements and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results pointed to a classic intercalation of the complex between the DNA base pairs. The complex was found to b…
Docking of indolo- and pyrrolo-pyrimidines to DNA. New DNA-interactive polycycles from amino-indoles/pyrroles and BMMA
2004
New indolo- and pyrrolo-pyrimidines of type 1-4 were studied for their ability to form stable complexes with DNA fragments. The calculated free energies of binding were found in the range -8.39 ÷ -16.72 Kcal/mol. The docking studies revealed a common binding mode with the chromophore intercalated between GC base pairs whereas the side chain lies along the minor groove.

Particle-level acceptance for the high-mass discovery signal regions SR-4b-meff1-A-disc and SR-3b-meff3-A, shown as a function of higgsino mass. The acceptance is defined as the fraction of signal events passing the particle-level event selection that emulates the detector-level selection. The acceptance calculation considers only those signal events where both higgsinos decay to Higgs bosons that subsequently both decay to b-quarks.
