Development of Hydrogen Bonding Magnetic Reaction-based Gene Regulation   through Cyclic Electromagnetic DNA Simulation in Double-Stranded DNA
  The proton-magnetic reaction is commonly used in MRI machines with a strong magnetic field of over 1 T, while this study hypothesized that the electron magnetic reaction of hydrogen could affect the hydrogen bonds of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) at a low magnetic field below 0.01 T. The goal is to develop a hydrogen bonding magnetic reaction-based gene regulation (HBMR-GR) system. The polarities of DNA base pairs are derived from the relative electrostatic charge between purines and pyrimidines, which become positively and negatively charged, respectively. The Pyu dsDNAs with pyrimidine(s)-purine(s) sequences, ds3T3A, ds3C3G, and ds3C3A, showed stronger DNA hybridization potential, increased infrared absorption at 3400-3200 cm-1, and a unique DNA conformation in HPLC analysis compared to the corresponding Puy dsDNAs. To target the three-dimensional structure of dsDNA based on the DNA base pair polarities, one can use cyclic electromagnetic DNA simulation (CEDS) with approximately 25% efficiency for randomly oriented dsDNAs. CEDS was found to induce sequence-specific hybridization of target oligo-dsDNAs in 0.005M NaCl solution and sequence-specific conformation of oligo-dsDNAs in 0.1M NaCl solution. It was found that the Pyu oligo-dsDNAs were more responsible for the hybridization and conformational changes by CEDS than the Puy oligo-dsDNAs. CEDS decreased ethidium bromide (EtBr) DNA intercalation and spermidine DNA condensation depending on CEDS time in the binding assay. The results also included that the Pyu oligo-dsDNAs were more responsible for CEDS by forming stable and unique conformation of oligo-dsDNA than the Therefore, it is postulated that the low-level HBMR-based CEDS can enhance the hybridization potential of oligo-dsDNAs and subsequently lead to the unique DNA conformation required for the initiation of various DNA functions.
