Abstract— The cleavage of phosphodiester bonds in DNA exposed to high intensity UV laser pulses in aerated aqueous solution has been investigated using a krypton fluoride excimer laser (248 nm) and bacterial plasmid DNA. The dependence of strand breakage on fluence and intensity has been studied in detail and shows that the process is non-linear with respect to intensity. The relationship between the quantum yield for strand breakage and intensity shows that the strand breakage reaction involves two-photon excitation of DNA bases. The quantum yield rises with intensity from a lower value of 7 times 10-5 until a maximum value of 4.5 times 10-4 is attained at intensities of 1011 W m-2 and above. This value is approximately fifty-fold higher than the quantum yield for strand breakage induced by exposure to low density UV irradiation (254 nm, 12 W m-2 ). DNA sequencing experiments have shown that strand breakage occurs by the specific cleavage of the phosphodiester bond which lies immediately 3' to guanine residues in the DNA, leaving some alkali-labile remnant attached to the terminal phosphate. A mechanism for DNA strand breakage which involves the generation of guanine radical cations is proposed. 相似文献

Beta-lactams are used as veterinary drugs for the treatment of food-producing animals. For consumer protection, legislation is in place to set limits for their residues. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed which allowed, in a single reaction, the class-specific measurement of 11 beta-lactams, with limits of detection below European maximum residue limits. Determinations were feasible in milk, tissue, urine, and serum with simple and rapid sample preparation. In this format, the specific capture antibodies were precoated on the microtiter plate and horseradish peroxidase-labeled conjugate was used to compete with free beta-lactams. The stability of the precoated microtiter plate and conjugate was at least 1 year when stored at 2 to 8 degrees C; upon reconstitution, the conjugate was stable for 6 days at 2 to 8 degrees C. The stability of lyophilized ampicillin standards was at least 6 months when stored at 2 to 8 degrees C and at least 1 year when stored at -20 degrees C. A low cross-reactivity, 3.6%, was observed with ampicillin with open beta-lactam ring relative to 100% for intact ampicillin. Generic recognition was shown by relative cross-reactivity values ranging from 22 (penicillin V) to 144% (nafcillin). Cross-reactivity for cephalosporins was <0.1%. Intra- and interassay precisions expressed as coefficient of variation were typically 2-8%. The inhibitory concentration with 50% binding for ampicillin was typically 2 ppb. Recovery for different spiked levels was >70% with all the matrixes. 相似文献

Absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra and quantum yields, triplet state absorption spectra, yields and rates of decay have been obtained for methylene blue (MB+), MB+/CT-DNA complexes and complexes of MB+ with the synthetic polynucleotides poly[d(G-C)] and poly[d(A-T)]. Strong fluorescence quenching is observed in the complexes of the dye with CT-DNA and poly[d(G-C)] concomitant with a decrease in the triplet yield. The fluorescence and triplet yield of MB+ with poly[d(A-T)] are similar to those of the free dye. The triplet decay times are increased in all three polymer/dye complexes and show a decreased sensitivity to oxygen quenching. These results are interpreted in terms of the binding of the dye to these polymers and the implications of polymer binding on the photosensitizing properties of the dye are discussed. 相似文献
