Room temperature fluorescence and low-temperature phosphorescence studies of the association of p10, a basic low molecular weight single-stranded DNA binding protein isolated from murine leukemia viruses, point to the involvement of its single tryptophan residue in a close-range interaction with single-stranded polynucleotides. Optically detected triplet-state magnetic resonance (ODMR) techniques applied to the complex of p10 protein with the heavy atom derivatized polynucleotide poly(5-HgU) demonstrate the occurrence of stacking interactions of Trp35 with nucleic acid bases, thus agreeing with earlier reports that this residue is involved in the binding process [Karpel, R. L., Henderson, L. E., & Oroszlan, S. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 4961-4967].

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
