[Reassociation of rat DNA fractions]. 1980

V I Prima, and O M Platonov, and K G Gazarian

A method for direct registration of the first derivative of DNA reassociation kinetics in spectrophotometric cuvettes is proposed. Using this method, the rat liver DNA obtained by chromatography on hydroxyapatite was studied. The differential curves of reassociation and changes in hyperchromic spectra revealed the presence in the rat genome of 4 types of repeating sequences differing in their GC-content. A scheme of preparative separation of DNA with respect to the reassociation rate was developed. Three types of sequences repeating 3.10(5), 600 and 1 times in the genomes with the GC-content of 50, 42, and 33%, respectively, were obtained in a homogeneous state. The advantages of the differential method of registration of the kinetic curves for the study of DNA structure and calculation of fractionation schemes are discussed.

Acid Renaturation, Nucleic,Acid Renaturations, Nucleic,Nucleic Acid Renaturations,Renaturation, Nucleic Acid,Renaturations, Nucleic Acid
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).

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.
