Fluorescence energy transfer on erythrocyte membranes.

Abstract:

:Stationary and time-dependent fluorescence were measured for a donor/ acceptor (DA) pair bound to membrane proteins of bovine erythrocyte ghosts. The donor N-(p-(2-benzoxazolyl)phenyl)-maleimide (BMI) and the acceptor fluram bind to SH- and NH2-residues, respectively. The fluorescence spectra and the time-dependent emission were consistent with radiationless fluorescence energy transfer (RET). Band3 protein is the only membrane spanning protein with accessible SH-groups for the coupling of BMI molecules, and therefore only acceptor binding sites on the same band3 protein were counted by the RET measurements performed. A density of RET-effective acceptor binding sites c = 0.072 nm-2 was calculated on the basis of the two-dimensional Förster-kinetics.

  • Nucleosome sliding mechanism based on the potential energy of sequence.

    abstract::Nucleosome sliding and nucleosome digestion are two main ways for regulating gene transcription. We constructed three characteristic parameters (CP) based on the information of CG0, CG1 and CG2 motifs, and used these parameters to analyze the sliding trend of -1 and +1 nucleosomes around TSS of genes with NFR in yeast...
