Cu(phen)22+与6-巯基嘌呤及DNA间的相互作用

在Tris-NaCl（pH=7.2）缓冲溶液中,应用伏安法、电子吸收光谱分析、溴化乙锭荧光分析、粘度测量和琼脂糖凝胶电泳等技术研究了Cu（phen）2^2＋（phen=1,10-邻菲咯啉）与6-巯基嘌呤（6-MP）及DNA间的相互作用。结果表明,Cu（phen）2^2＋与6-MP发生了明显的相互作用,其作用产物不仅与小牛胸腺DNA具有更强的相互作用,并且在H2O2和抗坏血酸存在下对质粒pBR322 DNA具有更强的断裂能力,与DNA的作用模式可能为部分插入模式。     

稀土-香兰素缩赖氨酸希夫碱配合物的合成、表征及其与DNA作用的研究

合成了香兰素缩赖氨酸希夫碱配体(HL)和15种香兰素缩赖氨酸希夫碱的稀土配合物REL(NO3)2.3H2O(RE=Y,La,Ce,Pr,Nd,Sm,Eu,Gd,Tb,Dy,Ho,Er,Tm,Yb,Lu),并通过元素分析、摩尔电导、热重分析、红外光谱、紫外光谱、核磁共振方法对配合物的组成和结构进行了表征。采用紫外光谱和荧光光谱方法初步研究了Nd,Tb,Yb,Lu这4种希夫碱配合物与DNA的相互作用,实验结果显示,随着DNA的加入,配合物在280 nm处的紫外吸收峰不断增强,同时配合物在418 nm左右的荧光发射峰随DNA浓度的增大均逐渐减小,说明配合物和DNA是以静电模式结合。     

ATR-FTIR光谱技术在聚合物膜研究中的应用

红外光谱是聚合物研究中常用的一种表征手段，而衰减全反射红外光谱（ATR-FTIR）更是由于在研究聚合物薄膜方面具有显著的优势而被广泛使用。逐层组装（layer-by-layer Assembly）技术是一种常用的组装聚合物超薄膜的方法，ATR-FTIR光谱技术的引入可以在获取膜组装过程中相应信息的同时有效地避免表征过程中对样品的损害。另一方面，ATR-FTIR方法与二维相关光谱技术（two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy, 2D correlation spectroscopy）相结合也是研究小分子（主要是水分子）在聚合物薄膜中的渗透行为的有效手段。本文对ATR-FTIR的基本原理和显著特点作了介绍，并以实例阐述该方法在逐层组装技术和水分子在薄膜内渗透行为研究两方面的应用。

Detection of processed genetically modified food using CIM monolithic columns for DNA isolation

The availability of sufficient quantities of DNA of adequate quality is crucial in polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods for genetically modified food detection. In this work, the suitability of anion-exchange CIM (Convective Interaction Media; BIA Separations, Ljubljana, Slovenia) monolithic columns for isolation of DNA from food was studied. Maize and its derivates corn meal and thermally pretreated corn meal were chosen as model food. Two commercially available CIM disk columns were tested: DEAE (diethylaminoethyl) and QA (quaternary amine). Preliminary separations were performed with standard solution of salmon DNA at different pH values and different NaCl concentrations in mobile phase. DEAE groups and pH 8 were chosen for further isolations of DNA from a complex matrix-food extract. The quality and quantity of isolated DNA were tested on agarose gel electrophoresis, with UV-scanning spectrophotometry, and by amplification with real-time PCR. DNA isolated in this way was of suitable quality for further PCR analyses. The described method is also applicable for DNA isolation from processed foods with decreased DNA content. Furthermore, it is more effective and less time-consuming in comparison with the existing proposed methods for isolation of DNA from plant-derived foods.     

Voltammetric Detection of the DNA Interaction with Toluidine Blue

Binding reactions of toluidine blue (TB) with herring fish DNA in pH 6.0 Britton–Robinson (B–R) buffer solution have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and linear‐sweep voltammetry at a glassy carbon electrode. TB has a couple of well‐defined redox peaks. The addition of DNA into the TB solution resulted in the decrease of the redox‐peak currents and the shift negatively of the anodic peak potential. The values of the electrochemical parameters such as the electron number of the electrochemical reaction, the electron transfer coefficient and the electrochemical reaction standard rate constant in the absence and presence of DNA, as well as the values of binding constant and binding ratio of DNA with TB were obtained. Almost unchanged values of the electrochemical parameters in the absence and presence of DNA show that nonelectroactive complexes were formed when TB interacted with DNA. DNA concentration can be determined by the decrease of the peak current of TB. The binding mode of TB with DNA was discussed.     

The preparation of nano‐scope chitosan‐oligomer copper complexes and their interaction with DNA

Water‐soluble low molecular weight chitosan of nanometer level and its copper complexes were prepared, and characterized by IR spectra, elemental analysis and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The modes and mechanism of these copper complexes interaction with DNA were studied by a fluorescent probe method and electrophoresis analysis. It is suggested that there are electrostatic and intercalation modes of copper complexes interacting with DNA. At first, the cationic complex electrostaticly binds to the negatively charged phosphate backbone of DNA, and then a portion of the complex intercalates between the base pairs on the DNA duplex strand.
