TEM measurements of BM_2 with EtBr

Intention

  • To get a feeling for how much base pairs per structure are occupied, we decided to prepare new grids for the TEM. Therefore we calculated the occupancy of the structures in a new way (see Calculation of intercalator concentrations) to get correct values.
  • We decided to prepare two samples and from each three grids.

Sample preparation

Sample Biomod_2_B2, Biomod_2_B3, Biomod_2_B4

  • in equilibrium each 7 base pairs one EtBr molecule should have bound to the structure
  • All dilutions are made with FOBXM + 20 mM MgCl2
  • cBM_2 ≈ 0.25 nM, VBM_2 (@ ≈ 10 nM) = 1 µl
  • cEtBr = 2.27 µM, VEtBr (@ 5 µM) = 18.6 µl
  • VFOBxM + 20mM MgCl2 = 20.9 µl
  • Vtot = 40 µl
  • Vortexed sample for 10 sec and shortly centrifuged it
  • Let incubate for 5 min before making grids

Sample Biomod_2_B5, Biomod_2_C1, Biomod_2_C2

  • in equilibrium each 21 base pairs one EtBr molecule should have bound to the structure
  • All dilutions are made with FOBXM + 20 mM MgCl2
  • cBM_2 ≈ 0.25 nM, VBM_2 (@ ≈ 10 nM) = 1 µl
  • cEtBr = 0.69 µM, VEtBr (@ 5 µM) = 5.5 µl
  • VFOBxM + 20mM MgCl2 = 33.5 µl
  • Vtot = 40 µl
  • Vortexed sample for 10 sec and shortly centrifuged it
  • Let incubate for 5 min before making grids

Sample Biomod_2_C3, Biomod_2_C4, Biomod_2_C5

  • controls without any DNA binder
  • cBM_2 ≈ 0.25 nM, VBM_2 (@ ≈ 10 nM) = 1 µl
  • VFOBxM + 20mM MgCl2 = 39 µl
  • Vtot = 40 µl
  • Vortexed sample for 10 sec and shortly centrifuged it
  • Let incubate for 5 min before making grids
