Denaturation maps of DNA: experimental and theoretical maps of phiX174 DNA. 1978

G I Karataev, and V I Permogorov, and A V Vologodskii, and M D Frank-Kamenetskii

A formaldehyde denaturation map of the replicative form of phiX174 DNA is obtained. The RFI DNA was converted into a linear state by restriction endonuclease pst I which introduces into this DNA a single double-stranded break. The map has four clear-cut peaks. Their positions excellently correlate with the peak positions on the map of equilibrium denaturation theoretically obtained earlier from the known nucleotide sequence of phiX174 DNA. The sequence is also used for a calculation of the maps of smoothed AT-content. The maxima on these maps correlate well with the peaks on the denaturation maps. To reveal the causes of a good correlation between the experimental formaldehyde and theoretical equilibrium denaturation maps, the theoretical formaldehyde denaturation maps are calculated for different conditions (temperature, formaldehyde concentration) using the detailed theory of DNA interaction with formaldehyde developed earlier.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008954 Models, Biological Theoretical representations that simulate the behavior or activity of biological processes or diseases. For disease models in living animals, DISEASE MODELS, ANIMAL is available. Biological models include the use of mathematical equations, computers, and other electronic equipment. Biological Model,Biological Models,Model, Biological,Models, Biologic,Biologic Model,Biologic Models,Model, Biologic
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.

D005557 Formaldehyde A highly reactive aldehyde gas formed by oxidation or incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. In solution, it has a wide range of uses: in the manufacture of resins and textiles, as a disinfectant, and as a laboratory fixative or preservative. Formaldehyde solution (formalin) is considered a hazardous compound, and its vapor toxic. (From Reynolds, Martindale The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p717) Formalin,Formol,Methanal,Oxomethane
