Abstract

Circular dichroism (CD) is a phenomenon that arises from the differential absorption of left- and right-handed circularly polarized light, and may be seen with optically active molecules. CD spectroscopy provides useful spectral signatures for biological macromolecules in solution, and provides low-resolution structural information about macromolecular conformation. CD spectroscopy is particularly useful for monitoring conformational changes in macromolecules upon environmental perturbations. G-quadruplex structures show unique CD spectral signatures, and CD is an important tool for characterizing their formation and global structure. This protocol offers step-by-step methods for determining reliable and reproducible CD spectra of quadruplex structures and normalizing the spectra for presentation. CD spectra properly normalized with respect to quadruplex concentration and path length are required to facilitate accurate comparison of results among laboratories. The standard operating procedures proposed are recommended to make such comparison accurate and informative. © 2017 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

四重DNA结构的圆二色性表征
圆二色性(CD)是一种由左旋和右旋圆偏振光的不同吸收引起的现象,可以在光学活性分子中看到。CD光谱为溶液中生物大分子提供了有用的光谱特征,并提供了关于大分子构象的低分辨率结构信息。CD光谱学对于监测环境扰动下大分子的构象变化特别有用。g -四相结构具有独特的CD谱特征,CD谱是表征其形成和整体结构的重要工具。该协议提供了一步一步的方法来确定可靠的和可重复的四重结构的CD光谱和规范化的光谱表示。需要对四重浓度和路径长度进行适当归一化的CD光谱,以促进实验室之间结果的准确比较。建议采用标准操作程序,以使这种比较准确和翔实。©2017 by John Wiley &儿子,Inc。
