Binding of N-NO-MeIQx to DNA
| Condition | DNA Binding |
|---|---|
| nmol bound/mg DNA/h | |
| pH 2.0 | 0.68 ± 0.04 |
| pH 2.0 ± 3 mM NaN3 | NDa |
| pH 3.5 | 0.14 ± 0.02b |
| pH 5.5 | 0.07 ± 0.01b |
| pH 7.4 | ND |
C-N-NO-MeIQx (0.03 mM, 50 mCi/mmol) was incubated at various pH values for 1 hour with 1 mg/ml DNA. Values represent mean ± S.E. (n = 3 to 6). The limit of detection is 0.03 nmol/mg DNA/h.
ND, not detected.
p < 0.001 vs pH 2.0
