It is shown that CD spectra of these triple complexes significantly differ from the DNA-TOEPyP4 and DNA-ZnTOEPyP4 double complex spectra, and they are not sum of these double complexes. Especially some strong differences in CD spectra of the triple and double complexes were observed when both porphyrins were added simultaneously into the DNA solution. In this case, ZnTOEPyP4 revealed a dominant influence on CD spectrum form. Zn-porphyrin also caused a strong intensity of positive band at 416 nm and a negative band at 437 nm when it was added into solution containing the DNA-TOEPyP4 complex. On the basis of obtained data, it was supposed that the observed significant changes in CD spectra of triple complexes were connected to an altered DNA conformation initiated by intercalation of porphyrin TOEPyP4 into GC-rich sites. The melting process analysis of the double complexes was carried out. The mechanisms of individual and joint influence of the porphyrins on DNA, and influence of binding modes on stability of these complexes are also discussed.展开更多

The experimental conditions of gold and silver nanoparticles production by the cells of studied strains in aqueous chloroauric acid （HAuCIq） and in silver nitrate （AgNO3） solutions, respectively, were determined. Concentration and time-dependences of nanoparticle formation were investigated. The complex of optical and analytical methods was used for testing the gold and silver nanoparticles in the bacterial biomass. The TEM （Transmission Electron Microscopy） and XRD （X-ray Diffraction） data in all cases demonstrated the presence of crystals with fcc （face centered cubic） structure. The results obtained show that the Actinomycetes are capable of producing gold and silver nanoparticles of spherical shape extracellularly when exposed to suitable compounds. The particle size distribution shows that the sizes of nanoparticles are in the range of 5 nm to 80 nm. The biomass obtained may be used for industrial as well as medical and pharmaceutical purposes.展开更多
