Why do we observe a low value in anisotropy in the first point of a titration with DNA?

We are measuring the anisotropy of a small oligocationic molecule after each addition of a DNA solution. The titration profile fits rather well to a 1:1 binding mode (as we expected), but the...

What would be a good buffer model of the mitochondrial matrix (i.e., pH, [H2O2], specific ions, etc)?

Hey, I'm interested in testing a ROS-sensitive probe in vitro. Is there a standard buffer that people uses to reproduce the conditions (pH, oxidative medium, ionic strenght, etc.) of the...

Any references out there about extensive mutation of surface residues by Arg?

I've found some papers describing improved solubility and thermodynamic stabilization by mutating a few surface residues to Arg. However, these studies typically describe mutants with very few...

What would be the best strategy to synthesize an oligopeptide containing aldehyde side-chains?

I would like to make short oligopeptides with aldehyde side chains. My first thought is oxidation of oligo-homoserine peptides (Fmoc-L-Hse(Trt)-OH is commercially available, and therefore very...

General question: techniques for studying mitochondrial metabolism

We have accidentally found some compounds with good mitochondrial internalization, and would like to study if they have any effect on basic mitochondrial processes. Possibly even opening a small...

Conditions for a selective Buchwald-Hartwig amination?

Let's say I have 2-bromophenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate and I want to perform a Buchwald-Hartwig amination. Would it be possible to selectively modify the OTf with one amine, and THEN the bromide...

Anyone can suggest a good review about peptide sequences that direct molecules to specific organelles?

I know about NLS, and some of the mitochondrial, but is there any good (and recent) review covering those sequences and the proposed mechanisms for their action? Thanks
