The catalytic role of hydrophobic co-solutes in DNA strand exchange is demonstrated by FRET kinetics. Two mechanisms that contribute to this are base stacking destabilisation and nucleation-promoted DNA strand invasion. We propose that hydrophobic catalysis is involved in the strand-exchange activity of recombination enzymes.
荧光共振能量转移动力学证明了疏水性共溶质在DNA链交换中的催化作用。促成此作用的两种机制是碱基堆积失稳和成核促进的DNA链侵入。我们提出，疏水催化参与了重组酶的链交换活性。
