Through-bond correlation of adenine H2 and H8 protons in unlabeled DNA fragments by HMBC spectroscopy

Summary A new application of the HMBC experiment is presented that provides a useful means to discriminate between H2 and H8 proton resonances, to assign the base proton resonances to the various residue types and, most importantly, to correlate the H2 and H8 protons for adenine or inosine residues in natural abundance ¹³C fragments. The utility of this experiment is demonstrated for an unlabeled DNA 20-mer. Thanks to the obtained results, preliminary conclusions could be drawn regarding the molecular conformations of the non-canonical G/I-A base pairs in the hairpin formed by this fragment.     

EPR Spin Trapping Study of the Decomposition of Azo Compounds in Aqueous Solutions by Ultrasound: Potential for Use as Sonodynamic Sensitizers for Cell Killing

Sonodynamic therapy, a promising new approach to cancer treatment, is based on synergistic cell killing by combination of certain drugs (sonosensitizers) and ultrasound. Although the mechanism of sonodynamic action is not understood, the role of free radicals produced from sonosensitizers by ultrasound is implicated. In this work, we studied formation of free radicals during the decomposition of several water-soluble azo compounds by 50 kHz ultrasound in aqueous solutions. Using the spin trap 3, 5-dibromo-4-nitrosobenzene sulfonate (DBNBS) tertiary carbon-centered radicals from 2, 2'-azobis (N,N'-dimethyl-eneisobutyramidine) dihydrochloride (VA-044), 2-(carbamoylazo)-isobutyronitrile (V-30), and 2, 2'-azobis (2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) and CH3 radicals from 1, 1'-azobis (N,N'-dimethylformamide) (ADMF) were detected in argonsaturated solutions and the corresponding oxygen-centered radicals (alkoxyl and peroxyl) from VA-044, V-30, and AAPH were identified using the spin trap 5, 5'-dimethyl-l-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) in aerated sonicated solutions. No free radicals from 4, 4'-dihydroxyazobenzene-3, 3'-dicarboxylic acid, disodium salt (DHAB) could be found in either system. While VA-044 and AAPH could also be readily decomposed by heat (42.5°C and 80°C), V-30 decomposition only occurred in the ultrasound-exposed solutions. The most likely mechanism of decomposition of azo compounds by ultrasound is their thermolysis in the heated shell of the liquid surrounding ca vita ting bubbles driven by ultrasound and/or by pyrolysis inside these bubbles. Experiments using scavengers of ·OH and ·H, which are produced by sonolysis in aqueous solutions, demonstrated that these radicals are not involved in the ultrasound-mediated radical production from the azo compounds. Due to the known cytotoxic potential of free radicals produced from azo compounds, the use of these compounds as ultrasound sensitizers appears to be a promising approach for sonodynamic cell killing.     

Coordinated synthesis of the nuclear protein cyclin and DNA in serum-stimulated quiescent 3T3 cells

Quantitative two-dimensional gel electrophoretic analysis (IEF) of the nuclear polypeptide cyclin together with autoradiographic studies have revealed a coordinate synthesis of cyclin and DNA after serum stimulation of quiescent 3T3 cells. These results strengthen the notion that cyclin may be a central component of the pathway(s) that regulate cell proliferation.     

Analysis of proteins synthesized by 9.5 day mouse embryos: determination of cardiac and noncardiac proteins.

To catalog polypeptides that were specific to developing hearts, we separated 35S-methionine-labeled 9.5 day mouse embryos into cardiac and noncardiac (carcass) components. Two-dimensional gels were then used to analyze the polypeptides synthesized in these two fractions. As a result, we were able to distinguish polypeptides that were specific to or increased in the heart as well as those polypeptides that were specific to or increased in the embryo minus the dissected heart. Using this analysis, there were two polypeptides that were cardiac-specific and 17 that were expressed at increased levels by at least twofold in the heart. The cardiac-specific polypeptides may be used in further studies to identify early cardiac tissue. Conversely, there were 26 polypeptides unique to noncardiac structures and an additional 15 that were increased in the carcass more than twofold relative to the heart. The noncardiac-specific polypeptides may be used to define contamination of putative cardiac tissue with noncardiac material. Two of the polypeptides expressed more abundantly in the carcass appeared to correspond to known proteins in the mouse fibroblast database, cyclin and tropomyosin 4. Thus the heart at 9.5 days of murine development can be distinguished readily from the remainder of the embryonic mouse both macroscopically and on two-dimensional gels.     

High resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of the proteins and glycoproteins of human blood platelets and platelet membranes

The proteins and glycoproteins of human blood platelets and platelet membranes in both the reduced and the unreduced states have been analysed by isoelectric focusing and sodium dodecyl sulphate-discontinuous polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in a two-dimensional technique. Gels which had been stained with periodic acid-Schiff's reagent could be counter-stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue, simplifying the recognition of components which stain with both reagents. The major glycoproteins and some of the proteins have been identified and the characteristics of the membrane and of the whole platelet components established in this system.
