The interaction of DNA with basic peptides (Lys methyl ester*, Lys2, (Lys)2methyl ester) has been studied by circular dichroism. The changes of the DNA CD spectra in the presence of peptides are interpreted as a transconformation from the B form to the C form of DNA. The presence of Ca++ in the mixture induces a supplementary transconformation. These observations suggest Ca++-basic peptides-DNA complexes as a structural model for chromatin.
通过圆二色性研究了DNA与碱性肽(赖氨酸甲酯*、赖氨酸2、(赖氨酸)2甲酯)的相互作用。在肽存在的情况下DNA圆二色光谱的变化被解释为DNA从B型向C型的转变构象。混合物中Ca++的存在诱导了额外的转变构象。这些观察结果表明Ca++-碱性肽-DNA复合物可作为染色质的结构模型。
