| Abstract | d(A-G)10 forms two helical structures at neutrality, at low ionic strength a single-hairpin duplex, and at higher ionic strength a double-hairpin tetraplex. An ionic strength-dependent equilibrium between these forms is indicated by native PAGE, which also reveals additional single-stranded species below 0.3 M Na+, probably corresponding to partially denatured states. The equilibrium also depends upon oligomer concentration: at very low concentrations, d(A-G)10 migrates faster than the random coil d(C-T)10, probably because it is a more compact single hairpin; at high concentrations, it co-migrates with the linear duplex d(A-G)10 x d(C-T)10, probably because it is a two-hairpin tetraplex. Molecular weights measured by equilibrium sedimentation in 0.1 M Na+, pH 7, reveal a mixture of monomer and dimer species at 1 degree C, but only a monomer at 40 degrees C; in 0.6 M Na+, pH 7, only a dimer species is observed at 4 degrees C. That the single- and double-stranded species are hairpin helices, is indicated by preferential S1 nuclease cleavage at the center of the oligomer(s), i.e., the loop of the hairpin(s). The UV melting transition below 0.3 M Na+ or K+, exhibits a dTm/dlog[Na+/K+] of 33 or 36 degrees C, respectively, consistent with conversion of a two-hairpin tetraplex to a single-hairpin duplex with extrahelical residues. When [Na+/K+] > or = 0.3 M, dTm/dlog [Na+/K+] is 19 or 17 degrees C, respectively, consistent with conversion of a two-hairpin tetraplex directly to single strands. A two-hairpin structure stabilized by G-tetrads is indicated by differential scanning calorimetry in 0.15 M Na+/5 mM Mg2+, with deltaH of formation per mole of the two-hairpin tetraplex of -116.9 kcal or -29.2 kcal/mol of G-tetrad. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
