UV absorption and fluorescence techniques with a thermal denaturation procedure were used in studies of the anchorage of an oligonucleotide hybridization by a covalently tethered nucleoside analogue of an intercalating imidazophenazine derivative (Pzn). The formation by the (dT)(10)Pzn conjugate of the duplex complex with (dA)(15) and the triplex complex with (dA)(15) or poly(dA).poly(dT) was studied in buffered solutions with 0.11 and/or 1M sodium ions at the oligomer strand concentration of 10 microM. Because of the Pzn emission sensitivity to the interaction with adenine bases, a fluorescence technique was found to be effective in the detection of melting transitions. The attached Pzn substantially enhanced the thermal stability of complexes formed by (dT)(10) because of the intercalation mechanism, which increased the temperature of half-dissociation of the duplex by 10-12 degrees C and of the triplexes by approximately 13 degrees C. With the assumption of a two-state model of transition, the thermodynamic parameters for duplex formations were derived. The investigated variant of conjugation has a certain advantage over the widely used attachment via a flexible linker, consisting of a predetermined location of the Pzn chromophore in target sequences that makes it useful as a fluorescent reporter of the hybridization correctness. Molecular modeling was used to construct the geometries of the intercalation sites that turned out to be in conformity with the behavior of the Pzn fluorescence.

D009690 Nucleic Acid Conformation The spatial arrangement of the atoms of a nucleic acid or polynucleotide that results in its characteristic 3-dimensional shape. DNA Conformation,RNA Conformation,Conformation, DNA,Conformation, Nucleic Acid,Conformation, RNA,Conformations, DNA,Conformations, Nucleic Acid,Conformations, RNA,DNA Conformations,Nucleic Acid Conformations,RNA Conformations
D009691 Nucleic Acid Denaturation Disruption of the secondary structure of nucleic acids by heat, extreme pH or chemical treatment. Double strand DNA is "melted" by dissociation of the non-covalent hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. Denatured DNA appears to be a single-stranded flexible structure. The effects of denaturation on RNA are similar though less pronounced and largely reversible. DNA Denaturation,DNA Melting,RNA Denaturation,Acid Denaturation, Nucleic,Denaturation, DNA,Denaturation, Nucleic Acid,Denaturation, RNA,Nucleic Acid Denaturations
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
