Ethidium bromide binding to core particle: comparison with native chromatin. 1979

M Erard, and G C Das, and G de Murcia, and A Mazen, and J Pouyet, and M Champagne, and M Daune

Ethidium bromide intercalation into DNA of nuclease digested erythrocyte chromatin and core particle, was followed at low ionic strength by fluorescence measurements, equilibrium dialysis using 14C labelled dye, circular dichroism and electron microscopy. High affinity binding sites in the chromatin are no more present in the core particle, i.e. when the linker is removed. In the case of core particle, a cooperative process occurs, accompanied by a partial stripping of the DNA from the core histone. Finally two populations of core particles can be detected by electron microscopy as far as their binding properties are concerned.

D002843 Chromatin The material of CHROMOSOMES. It is a complex of DNA; HISTONES; and nonhistone proteins (CHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS, NON-HISTONE) found within the nucleus of a cell. Chromatins
D002942 Circular Dichroism A change from planar to elliptic polarization when an initially plane-polarized light wave traverses an optically active medium.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004996 Ethidium A trypanocidal agent and possible antiviral agent that is widely used in experimental cell biology and biochemistry. Ethidium has several experimentally useful properties including binding to nucleic acids, noncompetitive inhibition of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, and fluorescence among others. It is most commonly used as the bromide. Ethidium Bromide,Homidium Bromide,Novidium,Bromide, Ethidium,Bromide, Homidium
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
