The interactions between the DNA with protein in the absence or presence of Tb3+ were measured using a HITACHI F-2700 spectrofluorometer. For the affinity of DNA towards protein (10 μM), the excitation wavelength was set at 280 nm. Titration was carried out with increasing concentrations of DNA (0–20 μM) to the protein of HsCen2 or HsCen2p, and the corresponding emission spectra were recorded. To detect the effect of Tb3+ on DNA binding to protein, protein (10 μM) was incubated with Tb3+ 1 : 2 for 10 min at 4 °C, and the Tb2-protein was titrated by gradually increasing the DNA concentration from 0 to 10 μM. The excitation wavelength was set to 295 nm, and the scanning range was 310–500 nm. Both the slit widths for excitation and emission were 10 nm. The reported constants are averages of three experiments.
Binding of the protein (HsCen2 or HsCen2p or Tb2-HsCen2 or Tb2-HsCen2p) with 2-p-toluidinylnaphthalene-6-sulfonate (TNS) was monitored by a fluorescence spectrometer. After incubation of the proteins with TNS for 10 min at 4 °C in the absence or presence of DNA, the mixed solutions were excited at 320 nm, and the scanning range was 330–650 nm.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
