Elucidating the mechanism of the considerable mechanical stiffening of DNA induced by the couple Zn(2+)/Calix[4]arene-1,3-O-diphosphorous acid
The couple Calix[4]arene-1,3-O-diphosphorous acid (C4diP) and zinc ions (Zn(2+)) acts as a synergistic DNA binder. Silicon NanoTweezer (SNT) measurements show an increase in the mechanical stiffness of DNA bundles by a factor of >150, at Zn(2+) to C4diP ratios above 8, as compared to Zinc alone w...
