The Interaction of Histone IV with Nucleoside Triphosphates

R Wickett 1, I Isenberg 1
PMCID: PMC427017  PMID: 4506790

Abstract

The nucleoside triphosphates ATP, GTP, TTP, and CTP induce conformational changes in histone IV at concentrations that are of the same magnitude as the histone concentration. The purine nucleoside triphosphates are much more effective than the pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphates.

Keywords: ATP, GTP, CTP, and TTP; conformational change; fluorescence polarization; nucleotide-protein interaction; circular dichroism
