摘要:

作者测量的持久性和轮廓长度的DNA-卟啉复合物,作为一个函数的卟啉浓度,插入和交联的复合物。在这两种情况下,持久性长度单调增加,直到达到某一临界浓度,在此之上,它突然减少,并保持近似恒定。复合物的轮廓长度没有表现出这种不连续的行为。通过将轮廓长度的相对增加量拟合到近邻排斥模型,得到了卟啉-DNA相互作用的排斥数和内禀嵌入常数。采用从头计算,以提供一个原子的图片,这些实验结果。

英文摘要:

The authors measure the persistence and contour lengths of DNA-psoralen complexes, as a function of psoralen concentration, for intercalated and crosslinked complexes. In both cases, the persistence length monotonically increases until a certain critical concentration is reached, above which it abruptly decreases and remains approximately constant. The contour length of the complexes exhibits no such discontinuous behavior. By fitting the relative increase of the contour length to the neighbor exclusion model, we obtain the exclusion number and the intrinsic intercalating constant of the psoralen-DNA interaction. Ab initio calculations are employed in order to provide an atomistic picture of these experimental findings.
