Binding of actinomycin D to DNA revealed by DNase I footprinting.

Abstract:

:We have analyzed the specificity of the actinomycin D-DNA interaction. The 'footprint' method has been used in this investigation. It is shown that: (i) The presence of dinucleotide GC or GG is required for binding of a single drug molecule. (ii) The strong binding sites are encoded by tetranucleotide XGCY; where X not equal to G and Y not equal to C in accordance with RNA elongation hindrance sites [1]. (iii) There is a positive cooperativity in binding of actinomycin D with DNA.

  • Measurement of GTP gamma S binding to specific G proteins in membranes using G-protein antibodies.

    abstract::We developed a novel method to quantitatively measure GTP gamma S binding to specific G proteins in crude membranes using G-protein antibodies. The basic strategy was that the materials were initially incubated with [35S]GTP gamma S at 37 degrees C. After 4 degrees C incubation in the wells of an ELISA plate precoated...
