Mass DeterminationMass spectrometry 质谱分析 :
• Molecules are vaporized and ionized (by Xe/Ar beam), and the degree of deflection (mass-dependent) of the ions in an electromagnetic field is measured
• Extremely accurate (0.01% error), but expensive
• ESI (electrospray ionization) and MALDI (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization) can measure the mass of proteins smaller than 100 KDa
• Helpful to detect post-translational modification
• Protein sequencing: relying on the protein data base

C2 Chemical and Physical Properties of Nucleic Acids
Stability of Nucleic Acids1. Hydrogen bonding • Contribute to specificity, not overall stability of DNA helix• Stability lies in the stacking interactions between base pairs
2. Stacking interaction/hydrophobic interaction between aromatic base pairs/bases contribute to the stability of nucleic acids.• It is energetically favorable for the hydrophobic bases to exclude waters and stack on top of each other (base stacking & hydrophobic effect). • This stacking is maximized in double-stranded DNA

C 3 Spectroscopic and Thermal Properties of Nucleic Acids
1. UV absorption: • Nucleic acids absorb UV light due to the aromatic bases• The wavelength of maximum absorption by both DNA and RN
A is 260 nm (max = 260 nm)• Application: detection, quantitation, assessment of purity (A260/
280)
2. Hypochromicity: fixing of the bases in a hydrophobic environment by stacking, which makes these bases less accessible to UV absorption. dsDNA, ssDNA/RNA, nucleotide
![Page 65: Section B 蛋白质结构 Protein Structure](https://reader034.fdocument.pub/reader034/viewer/2022050705/56815111550346895dbf2fcd/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
3. Quantitation of nucleic acidsExtinction coefficient (): 1 mg/ml dsDNA has an A260 of 20 (OD1=50ug/ml)
ssDNA and RNA=25 (OD1=40ug/ml)The values for ssDNA and RNA are approximate(1) The values are the sum of absorbance contributed by the different bases ( : p
urines > pyrimidines)(2) The absorbance values also depend on the amount of secondary structures du
e to hypochromicity.
4. Purity of DNA A260/280: dsDNA--1.8pure RNA--2.0protein--0.5

5. Thermal denaturation/melting: heating leads to the destruction of double-stranded hydrogen-bonded regions of DNA and RNA.
RNA: the absorbance increases gradually and irregularlyDNA: the absorbance increases cooperatively.Melting temperature (Tm): the temperature at which 40% increase in
absorbance is achieved.

6. Renaturation: 复性Rapid cooling: Only allow the formation of local base paring. Absorbance is slightly decreasedSlow cooling: Whole complementation of dsDNA. Absorbance decreases greatly and cooperatively.
Annealing 退火 : Base paring of short regions of complementarity within or between DNA strands. (example: annealing step in PCR reaction)Hybridization: Renaturation of complementary sequences between different nucleic acid molecules. (examples: Northern or Southern hybridization)

C4 DNA Supercoiling
1. Almost all DNA molecules in cells are on average negatively
supercoiled.
2. Supercoiled DNA has a higher energy than relaxed DNA. Ne
gative supercoiling may thus facilitate cellular processes whi
ch require the unwinding of the helix, such as transcription i
nitiation or replication
3. Topoisomerases 异构酶 exist in the cell regulate the level of su
percoiling of DNA molecules. (important to know in the sense
of gene expression)
(General understanding but not details are required)

Linker number (Lk, 连接数 , 连环数 ): a topological property of a closed-circular DNA, which can be changed only if one or both of the DNA backbones are broken.
Topoisomer ( 拓扑异构体 ) : A molecule of a given linking number is known as a topoisomer. Topoisomers of the same molecule differ from each other only in their linker number.
The conformation (geometry) of the DNA can be altered while the linking number remains constant. Writhe (wrap around, 缠绕 ) and Twist ( 扭转 ) changes are to measure the conformational change of a DNA molecule (Lk = Tw + Wr).
1. The topological change (Lk) in supercoiling of a DNA molecule is partitioned into a conformational change of twist (Tw )and/or a change of writhe (Wr).
2. For a given isomer of a circular closed DNA (Lk = 0), the increase in twist will cause a corresponding decrease in writhe.
