Protamine/DNA Ratios and DNA Damage in Native and Density Gradient Centrifuged Sperm From Infertile Patients
4 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
Protamines are the major nuclear proteins condensing DNA in the sperm nucleus. One of their proposed functions is the protection of the genetic message delivered by the sperm. To date, evidence of their involvement in DNA protection has been obtained by correlating the protamine P1/P2 ratio, protamine concentrations, or chromomycin A3 staining with DNA fragmentation. However, a correlation of the absolute...
