Molecular spectroscopy study of the reaction of nucleic acids with brilliant cresol blue

The interaction of brilliant cresol blue (BCB) with nucleic acids in aqueous solution has been studied by spectrophotometry and Rayleigh light scattering (RLS) spectroscopy. Under suitable conditions, the RLS spectra of BCB changed significantly due to the presence of nucleic acids. RLS intensity of BCB at 364 nm is greatly enhanced with the addition of nucleic acids, and a new RLS peak is observed at 552 nm. This peak is about half the intensity of that at 364 nm. The results of this study show that BCB interacts with DNA possibly due to the cooperative effect of electrostatic attraction, intercalation, coordination and hydrophobic effect. Under optimum conditions, the increase of RLS at 364 nm of a BCB solution is proportional to the concentration of nucleic acids added. This result is the basis for a new RLS method for determination of nucleic acids. The linear range of ctDNA, fsDNA and yRNA is 0.12-4.70, 0.11-4.64 and 0.43-7.07 microg ml(-1), respectively.     

Spectrophotometric determination of gold by reaction with molybdate and nile blue in the presence of PVA

A spectrophotometric method for the determination of gold has been developed, based on the reaction of gold(III) with molybdate and nile blue (NB) to form an ion-association complex in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol). The molar absorptivity at 595 nm is 2.71 × 10⁵ l mol^–1 cm^–1. Beer's law is obeyed over the range 0–16 g of gold per 25 ml. The relative standard deviation evaluated from seven independent determinations of 0.4 g/ml of gold is 2.6%. The limit of detection is 0.011 g/ml. The molar ratio of Au to NB in the complex is established to be 1 2. Over 30 foreign ions were tested for interference; Pt(IV), Sb(III), W(VI) and SiO ₃ ^2– interfered and had to be separated from gold on polyurethane foam. The method can be applied to the spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of gold in powdered carbon and some ores.     

Spectrophotometric investigation on the interaction of toluidine blue with calf thymus DNA by cyclodextrin supramolecular

The interaction of toluidine blue (TB) with cyclodextrins (CDs), including β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin (CM-β-CD), and calf thymus DNA in aqueous solution is studied by ultraviolet-visible absorption and steady-state fluorescence technique. The interactive model of TB with double-stranded DNA has been investigated by means of the inclusive action of β-CD and CM-β-CD. Based on the changes of absorption, fluorescence and resonance light scattering (RLS) spectra, the intrinsic binding constant (K_ap) and the binding site number (n) of TB with DNA and the inclusion complexes TB–CD with DNA are obtained in the case of 20 mmol L^?1 Tris-HCl buffer solution (pH 7.2). According to the experimental results, it can be inferred that the interactive model of dimer TB with DNA is ‘electrostatic binding’, while the monomer TB with DNA is ‘intercalative binding’.

Spectrophotometric study of the formaldehyde-leuco-methylene blue reaction

The sensitivity of the reaction between foimaldchyde and Icuco-mcthyleno blue has been found to be increased in the presence of ethyl alcohol, acetone, dicthyl ketone and methyl ethyl ketone. Acetone has been found to be most effective. Sensitisers increase the absorption maximum and stabilise it, while the rate of development of methylene blue colour is slowed down.Sensitivity also depends upon the content of thiosulphate used to prepare the Icuco-base; a smaller amount of thiosulphate increases greater sensitivity.     

Voltammetric study of the interaction of ciprofloxacin-copper with nucleic acids and the determination of nucleic acids

The behavior of the ciprofloxacin (CPFX) complex with copper, Cu(II)L₂, at a mercury electrode has been investigated in borax–boric acid buffer. The adsorption phenomena were observed by linear sweep voltammetry. The mechanism of the electrode reaction was found to be reduction of Cu(II)L₂ adsorbed on the surface of the electrode by an irreversible charge transfer to metal amalgam, Cu(0)(Hg). In the presence of DNA, the formation of the electrochemically non-active complexes Cu(II)L₂–DNA results in the decrease of the equilibrium concentration of Cu(II)L₂ and its peak current. Under the optimum conditions, the decrease of the peak current is proportional to DNA concentration. The linear ranges are 6.67×10⁻⁸ to 1.20×10⁻⁵ g ml⁻¹ for calf thymus DNA (ctDNA), 3.30×10⁻⁸ to 2.33×10⁻⁶ g ml⁻¹ for fish sperm DNA (fsDNA) and 1.0×10⁻⁸ to 1.2×10⁻⁶ g ml⁻¹ for yeast RNA. The detection limits are 5.00×10⁻⁹, 3.00×10⁻⁹ and 2.50×10⁻⁹ g ml⁻¹, respectively. This method exhibits good recovery and high sensitivity.     

New synthesis of a spin-labeled peptide nucleic acid and its interactions with nucleic acids

A new combined solid-liquid phase synthesis method for a spin labeled peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is developed. The methodology involved initial preparation of a protected PNA on solid phase, followed by efficient solution phase coupling to a spin label containing a reactive carboxylic group. This strategy allows to maintain the integrity of the nitroxide moiety during the various steps of chemical synthesis assuring in the same time the fidelity of the hybridization assay. This compound can be used as a reporter molecule to investigate the binding of peptide nucleic acids to oligonucleotide sequences (DNA or RNA) by EPR spectroscopy.     

Spectrophotometric analysis of nucleic acids: oxygenation-dependant hyperchromism of DNA

The absorbance at 260 nm (A ₂₆₀) is ubiquitously used for nucleic acid quantification. We show that following oxygenation, DNA solutions experience alterations in both spectral properties (hyperchromism in the UV region, λ _max 260 nm) and DNA conformation. The spectral changes caused by oxygen–DNA complexation are stable for at least several weeks at room temperature or several hours at 37 °C, but are also reversible by purging with nitrogen. Our data indicate that DNA in working solutions might already exist in the oxygen-complexed state, potentially confounding spectrophotometric analyses. Further, the presence of these complexes does not appear to impart cell toxicity in vitro or affect the biophysical functional behaviour (e.g. hybridisation) of DNA. Interestingly, our work also suggests that hybridisation could determine a release of bound oxygen, a phenomenon that could open the way to the use of such systems as oxygen carriers.     

Spectroscopic study of the interaction of pazelliptine with nucleic acids

The antitumor drug pazelliptine (PZE) binds to natural and synthetic DNA sequences at 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.0, as deduced from the absorption and fluorescence data. Scatchard plots constructed from the results obtained with poly(dG-dC)-poly(dG-dC) give binding constants of base pairs in the range (2–6) × 10⁵ M⁻¹. The modifications in the absorption and fluorescence spectra observed when PZE binds to various polynucleotides, namely poly(dA-dT)-poly(dA-dT), poly(dA)-poly(dT), poly(dG-dC)-poly(dG-dC) and calf thymus DNA. reveal a change in the protonation state of the drug upon binding, increasing the apparent pK_a of its 9-N nitrogen atom. The PZE excited state properties serve as a sensitive probe to distinguish between homo and hetero A-T sites as well as between AT and GC sites. Fluorescence studies reveal that energy transfer occurs from polynucleotide bases to the bound PZE chromophore, a result consistent with an intercalative mode of binding of the drug to DNA. The emission is enhanced when PZE is bound to A-T base pairs ( 30% increase of φ_F) whereas it is quenched in the vicinity of G-C base pairs ( 90% decrease of φ_F). Furthermore, the fluorescence spectrum obtained with calf thymus DNA is hardly distinguishable from that obtained with poly(dG-dC)-polu(dG-dC), suggesting a binding of PZE to G-C rich regions.     

Influences of non-selective interactions of nucleic acids on response rates of nucleic acid fiber optic biosensors

The immobilization of oligonucleotides to solid surfaces can provide a platform of chemistry that is suitable for the development of biosensor and microarray technologies. Experiments were performed using a fiber optic nucleic acid biosensor based on total internal reflection fluorescence to examine the effects of the presence of non-complementary DNA on the detection of hybridization of complementary target DNA. The work has focused on the rates and extent of hybridization in the presence and absence of non-selective adsorption using fluorescein-labeled DNA. A stop-flow system of 137 microL volume permitted rapid introduction and mixing of each sample. Response times measured were on the order of seconds to minutes. Non-selective adsorption of non-complementary oligonucleotides (ncDNA) was found to occur at a significantly faster rate than hybridization of complementary oligomers (cDNA) in all cases. The presence of ncDNA oligonucleotides did not inhibit selective interactions between immobilized DNA and cDNA in solution. The presence of high concentrations of non-complementary genomic DNA had little effect on the extent of hybridization of complementary oligonucleotides, but actually reduced the response times of sensors to cDNA oligonucleotides.

Spectrophotometric study of the reaction of iron(iii) with methylthymol blue

The reaction between iron(III) and Methylthymol Blue (MTB or H(6)A) has been investigated by spectrophotometry. It has been established that iron(III) and MTB form two complexes with compositions iron(III): MTB = 1:1 and 1:2. The 1:1 complex is stable in acidic medium containing excess of iron, and the 1:2 complex is stable in slightly acidic or alkaline media containing excess of MTB. The absorption maxima are at 610 mmu (1:1) and 515 mmu (1:2), the molar absorptivities being 1.73 +/- 0.01 x 10(4) and 3.21 +/- 0.05 x 10(3) respectively. The nature of the two complexes at pH 6 and the stability constants have been determined: log beta(11) = 20.56 +/- 0.07, log beta(112) = 43.29 +/- 0.09, log beta(12) = 6.66 +/- 0.05.     

Spectrophotometric study of the chelate of palladium(II) with methylthymol blue

Methylthymol blue reacts very sensitively with palladium(II) to form two complexes. The 1:1 complex has λ_max at 530 nm in acidity range 0.02 to 0.05 M with respect to perchloric acid and 1:2 (metal reagent ratio) complex at 500 nm in pH range 6.8 to 7.5. Optimum conditions including the range for adherence to Beer's law, effect of pH, effect of excess reagent and sensitivity are reported for the photometric determination of palladium using methylthymol blue.     

Kinetic determination of selenium using the reduction of nile blue with sulfide ions

The catalytic effect of Se(IV) was first observed in the reaction of the reduction of Nile Blue with sulfide ions. Optimal conditions for the determination of selenium by this reaction were found. The dependence of the reaction rate on the concentration of Se(IV) was linear in the concentration range 0.008-0.16 μg/mL. Solvent extraction with dithiophosphoric acids was proposed for the separation of selenium from the interferents. A procedure for the extraction-kinetic determination of selenium with the detection limit 0.006 μg/mL was developed.     

Linear sweep voltammetric studies on the interaction of brilliant cresyl blue with nucleic acids and its analytical application

In this paper, the interaction of brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) with nucleic acids was studied and further applied for the microdetermination of nucleic acids. In aqueous Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffer solution, BCB can be easily reduced on the hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) and had a sensitive voltammetric reduction peak at -0.09 V (vs. SCE). The reduction peak current of BCB could be greatly decreased by the addition of DNA. The results of voltammetric measurements had indicated that a binding reaction was occurred between BCB and DNA and a new supramolecular complex was formed, which resulted in the decrease of the diffusion coefficient of the reaction solution and the decrease of the reduction peak current correspondingly. The conditions of interaction and the electrochemical detection were carefully investigated. Under the selected conditions, the calibration curves for the detection of fish sperm (fs)DNA, calf thymus (ct)DNA and yeast (y)RNA were established. The linear range of this assay was 1.0-30.0 microg/mL for fsDNA, 1.0-45.0 microg/mL for ctDNA and 1.0-25.0 microg/mL for yRNA, respectively. The detection limits were 0.38 microg/mL fsDNA, 0.43 microg/mL ctDNA, 0.64 microg/mL yRNA. The interaction parameters such as the equilibrium constant and the binding number were calculated by electrochemical method. The results showed that the 2:3 type of complex was formed in the fsDNA-BCB complex with the binding constant as 2.51 x 10(7). The proposed method was further applied to the synthetic samples determination with satisfactory results.

Interaction of nucleic acids with the glycocalyx

Mammalian cells resist the uptake of nucleic acids. The lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane presents one barrier. Here, we report on a second physicochemical barrier for uptake. To create a sensitive probe for nucleic acid-cell interactions, we synthesized fluorescent conjugates in which lipids are linked to DNA oligonucleotides. We found that these conjugates incorporate readily into the plasma membrane but are not retained there. Expulsion of lipid-oligonucleotide conjugates from the plasma membrane increases with oligonucleotide length. Conversely, the incorporation of conjugates increases markedly in cells that lack the major anionic components of the glycocalyx, sialic acid and glycosaminoglycans, and in cells that had incorporated highly cationic lipids into their plasma membrane. We conclude that anionic oligosaccharides provide a formidable barrier to the uptake of nucleic acids by mammalian cells. This conclusion has implications for genomic stability, as well as the delivery of genes and siRNAs into mammalian cells.
