Reversible toroidal compaction of DNA by aluminum.

Abstract:

:Electron microscopy has been used to characterize the products of the reactions of aluminum with DNA under three different conditions, one of which, pH 5 and Al (III)/DNA(P) ratio of 0.4, has been previously shown to produce reversible interstrand crosslinking in double-stranded DNA molecules. Under this condition, aluminum produced macromolecular aggregates of DNA upon heating, with a distinctive ultrastructure reversible to double-stranded DNA after removal of the aluminum. These structures were toroidal in configuration and exhibited mean widths of 4.9 +/- 1.8 nm and were 18.6 +/- .4 nm in diameter with a toroidal internal diameter of 7.4 +/- 4.7 nm. Previous results have shown that these structures contain Al(III) - crosslinked DNA, the present data suggests that this intermolecular crosslinking is associated with the production of compacted structures.

  • Assessment of brain oxygenation imbalance following soman exposure in rats.

    abstract::Nerve agents (NAs) are potent organophosphorus (OP) compounds with applications in chemical warfare. OP compounds act by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Soman (O-pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate) is one of the most potent NAs. It is well known that small doses of NAs can be lethal, and that even non-lethal ...
