Each fluorescence value(.) at a certain SSB concentration is the average of ten readings of the fluorescence after the binding has reached uilibrium(corresponding to the plateau part of the time-scan curve shown in Figure 2). The dilution effect has been considered processing. The concentration of the MB was 250 nM. The stoichiometric ratio of MB to SsB was determined by the intersection point of two straight lines(-)extended, respectively, from the initial linear part and the plateau part of the titration curve(---). The results indicate that one SSB molecule binds to one mB molecule

Relative fluorescence enhancement occurring upon binding of the molecular beacon to various Dna and protein molecules. The concentrations used were: cDNA, 1 uM; SSB, 40 ugmL- 1b-DNA, 4 UM; HIS, 200 ugmL- BSA, 400 ug mL- MB, 250 nM. The concentrations of the proteins and dNa molecules are high enough to saturate the molecular beacon in all binding studies. The perfect CDNA sequence is shown in Figure 2. The one base-pair mismatch complementary sequence is: 5 CTTCCTTCTTGGGTATGGA-3(the underlined base represents the mismatch)

34监测蛋白质 Monitoring proteins Using Molecular Beacons To Probe Molecular Interactions between Lactate Dehydrogenase and Single-Stranded DNA Xiaohong Fang, Jianwei Jeff Li, and Weihong Tan Department of Chemistry and UF Brain Institute, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611 The interactions between two key macromolecular species, nucleic acids and proteins, control many important biological processes. There have been limited effective methodologies to study these interactions in real time. In this work, we have applied a newly developed molecular beacon (MB)DNA probe for the analysis of an enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), and for the investigation of its properties of binding with single-stranded DNA Molecular beacons are single stranded oligonucleotide probes designed to report the presence of specific complementary nucleic acids by fluorescence detection. the interaction between LDh and Mb has resulted in a significant fluorescence signal enhancement, which is used for the elucidation of M B/LDH binding properties. The processes of binding between MB and different isoenzymes of LDH have been studied. The results show that the stoichiometry of LDH-5/MB binding is 1: 1, and the binding constant is 1.9x10-7M-1. We have also studied salt effects, binding sites, temperature effects, pH effects, and the binding specificities for different isoenzy mes Our results demonstrate that MB can be effectively used for sensitive protein quantitation and for efficient protein-DNAinteraction studies MB has a signal transduction mechanism built within the molecule and can thus be used for the development of rapid protein assays and for real- time measurements Analytical Chemistry, Vol. 72, No. 14, July 15, 2000

In this work, we have applied a newly developed molecular beacon (MB) DNA probe for the analysis of an enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and for the investigation of its properties of binding with single-stranded DNA.

The concentrations of MB and LDH were 0.5 and 1 uM. The buffer used was 20 mM Tris/HCl, 0.05 mM MgCl2, pH=7.8
