摘要
In this study, the interaction of an alkylating agent, sulfur mustard (SM) with rat liver active (S(1) and S(2)) and inactive (P(2)) chromatin was investigated employing UV/vis spectroscopy and gel electrophoreses. The results show that SM affects the chromatin structure in a dose-dependent manner. The binding of SM to fractions is different. At lower concentrations (<500 mu M), SM seems to unfold the structure and at higher concentrations, it induces aggregation and condensation of chromatin possibly via forming cross-links between the chromatin components. The extent of condensation in S(2) is higher when compared to the P(2) fraction. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
