Abstract:
The interaction of poly(dG-dC).poly(dG-dC) with mitomycin C, an antitumor antibiotic, has been studied by various spectroscopic methods: circular dichroism, Fourier transform infrared resonance Raman scattering and using fluorescence emission of terbium bound to unpaired guanines as local conformation probe. The results allowed us to confirm the lack of long range modification of the DNA secondary structure upon binding. They also brought first information concerning the modification of the local structure of the nucleic acid at the level of mono- or bifunctional adducts.

M-Cdk Drives Transition Into Mitosis
Cyclin-dependent kinases, or Cdks, work in concert with cyclins to control cell cycle transitions. M-Cdk, a complex of Cdk1 bound to M cyclin, is a well-known example of this coordinated control that drives the transition from the G2 to the M phase.
