Molecular Dynamics Studies of Changes in the DNA- Structure as Result of Interactions with Cisplatin [PDF]
The 3'-monofunctional adduct of cisplatin and d(CTCTG*G*TCTC)2 duplex DNA in solvent with explicit counter ions and water molecules were subjected to MD- simulation with AMBER force field on a nanosecond time scale. In order to simulate the closure of the bond between the Pt and 5'-guanine-N7 atoms, the forces acting between them were gradually ...

Mildly-Doped Polythiophene with Triflates for Molecular Recognition [PDF]
Organic semiconductors have enough molecular versatility to feature chemo-specific electrical sensitivity to large families of chemical substituents via different intermolecular bonding modes. This study demonstrates that one single conducting polymer can be tuned to either discriminate water-, ethanol- or acetone-vapors, on demand, by changing the ...

Nitric oxide binds to the proximal heme coordination site of the ferrocytochrome c/cardiolipin complex: formation mechanism and dynamics. [PDF]
Mammalian mitochondrial cytochrome c interacts with cardiolipin to form a complex (cyt. c/CL) important in apoptosis. Here we show that this interaction leads to structural changes in ferrocytochrome c that leads to an open coordinate site on the central
