Journal ArticleDOI
Combining constitutive materials modeling with atomic force microscopy to understand the mechanical properties of living cells
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to present a model of the overall mechanical response of the cell that allows us to separate out the mechanical responseOf the cell from the local surface interactions the authors wish to quantify, and it is proposed to fully parameterize the model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turnover of deoxyribonucleic acid, histones, and lysine-rich histone phosphate in hepatoma tissue culture cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of DNA−Protamine Interactions by Optical Detection of Magnetic Resonance†
TL;DR: Optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) has been used to identify the binding site of a synthetic protamine subdomain to the major groove of DNA and extrapolation of results from the system studied to protamine binding in sperm chromatin strongly suggests that the predominantbinding site of protamine is theMajor groove ofDNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Natural Subcellular Surface Structure of the Bovine Sperm Cell
TL;DR: AFM should be considered a new tool for studying sperm structure abnormalities and monitoring the specific effects of, or damage caused by, various chemical reactants or other treatments on the structures of metabolically active or partially demembranated sperm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of intraprotamine disulfides in vitro.
TL;DR: The results suggest that only those cysteines located within the amino- and carboxyterminal ends of the protein appear to participate in forming intramolecular disulfides in vitro.
