We describe three applications of FRET technique to analyze structural and thermodynamic properties of cationic lipids and their complexes with DNA: (1) Lipid mixing assay to determine the degree to which individual vesicles undergo fusion upon complex formation. (2) DNA binding assay to obtain cationic lipid-DNA binding curves for thermodynamic analysis or binding stoichiometry characterization. (3) DNA spacing assay to determine changes in DNA packing in the multilamellar lipoplex particle.
我们描述了荧光共振能量转移(FRET)技术在分析阳离子脂质及其与DNA复合物的结构和热力学性质方面的三种应用:(1)脂质混合测定,以确定单个囊泡在复合物形成时发生融合的程度。(2)DNA结合测定,以获得用于热力学分析或结合化学计量表征的阳离子脂质-DNA结合曲线。(3)DNA间距测定,以确定多层脂质体颗粒中DNA堆积的变化。
