The allosteric activation of the T127->L mutant of 3'-5' cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) receptor protein (CRP) by cAMP changes from an exothermic, independent two-site bindingmechanism at pH 7.0 to an endothermic, interacting two-site binding

UV cleaned gold substrates incubated in solutions of alkanethiol show islands on the monolayer surface when imaged with non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM). The height of the islands above the monolayer is approximately twice the height of the

Alexa 488 fluorophores was immobilized on a gold electrode. The formation of the layer of fluorophore was followed in real time using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Both SPR and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) gave a thickness of about} 0.7 nm for the
Optimization of the binding conformation of a substrate in an enzyme active site using ab initio quantum chemistry methods are intractable since the active site comprises several hundred atoms. However, the active site can be decomposed into an active and
Free radicals such as OH, e aq- and H atoms react with DNA by addition to bases or abstraction of H atoms from the sugar moiety. Oxygen adds to base or sugar radicals of DNA resulting in formation of peroxyl radicals. DNA radicals further react to give

An ab initio cofiguration interaction (CI) study including spin-orbit coupling is carried out for the ground and excited states of the IO radical by employing relativistic effective core potentials. The computed spectroscopic constants are in good
Differential surface stress measurements performed using estance technique and simultaneous measurements of the differential capacitance provide experimental evidence for deviation of n-tin oxide electrode's properties from the electrocapillary
We describe the use of scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy to probe the structure and temporal dynamics of unsupported planar lipid bilayer membranes. At high fluorescent label concentration, the shape and stability of the membranes are evaluated
The field of human mitochondrial genetics has advanced way beyond where the Human Genome Project hopes to be by the year 2003, the projected year for completing the sequence of the entire human nuclear DNA genome. Not only has the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)

Vibrational spectra of biomimetic membranes have been obtained using a broad-band approach to sum frequency generation (SFG). A new innovation, broad band SFG (BBSFG) allows for high quality SFG spectra with rapid collection times. With the BBSFG approach
Thermodynamic quanties describing the hybridizatin reactions for 8mer PNA/DNA duplexes and the corresponding 8mer DNA/DNA duplexes were determined by isothermal titation calorimetry measurements at ambient temperatures. Values of δG b for the DNA/DNA

Single molecules of DNA or RNA can be detected as they are driven through a single alpha-hemolysin channel by an applied electric field. During translocation, nucleotides within the polynucleotide must pass through the channel pore in sequential single
