✦ Synopsis


Iron present in biological samples prevents the extraction of DNA by hot acid hydrolysis as used in both the Schneider and Ogur-Rosen procedures [Schneider, W. C. (1945) J. Biol. Chem. 161,293-303; Ogur, M., and Rosen, G. (1950)Arch. Biochem.

25,262-276.1 for DNA determination. Purified DNA, which is normally hot acid hydrolyzable, is rendered nonhydrolyzable by the presence of trace (0.1 mM) quantities of iron (III). Addition of a metal ion chelator, such as EDTA, to samples before hot acid treatment of DNA overcomes the inhibitory effect of iron, and, since iron is a normal cellular component, it is recommended as a general procedure for DNA determination.

A new method has been developed for determination of DNA synthesis during cell proliferation. The method is based on the metabolism of [U-13 C 6 ]glucose to deoxyribose (DR) and then incorporation of [U-13 C 5 ]DR into newly synthesized DNA. Extracted cellular DNA is subjected to HCl hydrolysis (2 h

We describe an optimized procedure for protein extraction performed simultaneously with that of DNA and RNA from a single tissue sample that is, unlike the original protocol, suitable for quantitative studies. This optimized protocol is particularly well adapted to studies where gene regulation at D
