研究目的
Investigating the binding dynamics and mechanism of neomycin to its RNA aptamer using a cytidine analog as a fluorescent label.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that C? m f is a sensitive probe for RNA dynamics and can be used to study the binding mechanism of neomycin to its aptamer. The two-step binding mechanism was identified, with conformational selection playing a dominant role.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific RNA sequences and conditions used, and the potential effects of the fluorescent label on RNA structure and dynamics.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy to evaluate the photophysical properties of C? m f in RNA and to investigate the binding of neomycin to its aptamer.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
RNA model sequences and neomycin aptamers were synthesized and labeled with C? m f at specific positions.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Instruments included a JASCO V-650 spectrometer for absorption spectra, a JASCO FP 8500 fluorescence spectrometer for emission spectra, and a stopped-flow setup for binding kinetics.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Samples were annealed before measurements. Thermal denaturation experiments were conducted to assess the effect of C? m f on duplex stability.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Fluorescence lifetimes were measured with a time-correlated single photon counting setup. Binding kinetics were analyzed using DynaFit software.
