We have investigated the interaction between native neutral β-cyclodextrin (CD) and DNA molecule by performing single-molecule stretching experiments with optical tweezers. In particular, we monitored changes of mechanical properties CD–DNA complexes as a function CD concentration in sample. By using quenched disorder statistical model, were also capable to extract important physicochemical information (equilibrium binding constants, cooperativity degree) such from data. addition, found that...
We present a new model to describe DNA interactions with large ligands such as proteins, based on quenched-disorder equation for ligand binding along the double helix and Manning's description local changes of persistence length at sites. Such allows one extract physical chemistry from pure mechanical measurements, those typically performed DNA–protein complexes in force spectroscopy assays. have tested proposed methodology here investigate interaction protein lysozyme, determining...
Summary Meloidogyne paranaensis is one of the most important pathogenic nematode species on coffee. Our aim with this study was to characterise resistance genotype ‘16-6-1’, derived from germplasm ‘Amphillo’ Coffea arabica M. . Second-stage juveniles penetrated roots ‘16-6-1’ in lower numbers and at a slower pace as compared susceptible genotype. The strong blue fluorescence observed resistant, but not suggested that responses occurred early 2 days after inoculation (DAI). Late involved...
Summary Nematode body neutral lipid (triacylglycerol) content has been related to infectivity and direct implications in control strategies. In this study, Pratylenchus brachyurus populations were split into two groups: i ) freshly hatched second-stage juveniles (J2) containing lipids stored during embryogenesis; ii third- fourth-stage (J3/J4) plus females that replenished their reserves by feeding on maize ( Zea mays roots. These groups subjected starvation study consumption dynamics...
