We have analyzed high-resolution denaturation profiles of reassociated repetitive DNA sequences by using a combination of higher derivative analysis and curve-fitting techniques. Procedures originally used for resolution of components in complex absorption spectra were found to be applicable to high-resolution analysis of melting profiles of reassociated repetitive DNA sequences from pea DNA. Under conditions that eliminate the base composition effect on thermal stability (2.4 M tetraethylammonium chloride), such an anlysis can distinquish "thermal classes" of repetitive DNA duplexes exhibiting different amounts of base pair mismatch. Only a single thermal class is observed in reassociated Escherichia coli DNA whereas at least five classes can be reproducibly distinguished in pea and mung bean DNAs.
我们通过结合高阶导数分析和曲线拟合技术,分析了重退火重复DNA序列的高分辨率变性图谱。最初用于解析复杂吸收光谱中各成分的方法,被发现适用于豌豆DNA重退火重复DNA序列解链图谱的高分辨率分析。在消除碱基组成对热稳定性影响的条件下(2.4 M四乙基氯化铵),这样的分析能够区分表现出不同碱基对错配量的重复DNA双链体的“热类别”。在重退火的大肠杆菌DNA中仅观察到一个热类别,而在豌豆和绿豆DNA中至少可以重复区分出五个类别。
