RNA editing of the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is essential for generating the large delta antigen, which is crucial for virion assembly. In HDV genotype 1 (HDV-1), editing occurs within the context of the unbranched rod-like structure characteristic of ...

Preferential base pairing modes of T·T mismatches [PDF]
It has long been recognized that T·T mismatches can adopt two different modes of exchangeable wobble base pairs in which no preferential pairing mode has been observed. In this study, we have performed a systematic nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) investigation to study the sequence context effect on the pairing modes of T·T mismatches.

During the treatment of viral or bacterial infections, it is important to evaluate any resistance to the therapeutic agents used. An amino acid substitution arising from a single base mutation in a particular gene often causes drug resistance in ...

pH-Responsive DNA Motif: From Rational Design to Analytical Applications
pH-responsive DNA motifs have attracted substantial attention attributed to their high designability and versatility of DNA chemistry. Such DNA motifs typically exploit DNA secondary structures that exhibit pH response properties because of the presence ...

Optimization of Single-Base-Pair Mismatch Discrimination in Oligonucleotide Microarrays [PDF]
ABSTRACT The discrimination between perfect-match and single-base-pair-mismatched nucleic acid duplexes was investigated by using oligonucleotide DNA microarrays and nonequilibrium dissociation rates (melting profiles).

Sequence-Dependent T:G Base Pair Opening in DNA Double Helix Bound by Cren7, a Chromatin Protein Conserved among Crenarchaea. [PDF]
T:G base pair arising from spontaneous deamination of 5mC or polymerase errors is a great challenge for DNA repair of hyperthermophilic archaea, especially Crenarchaea.

A rule of seven in Watson-Crick base-pairing of mismatched sequences [PDF]
Sequence recognition through base-pairing is essential for DNA repair and gene regulation, but the basic rules governing this process remain elusive. In particular, the kinetics of annealing between two imperfectly matched strands is not well characterized, despite its potential importance in nucleic acid-based biotechnologies and gene silencing.

Base-Pair Mismatch in DNA at 2.3A Resolution
Abstract X-ray single crystal analysis of the deoxyoctanucleotide d(GGGGCTCC)2 has revealed, for the first time, the existence of the G.T wobble mispair in an A-DNA double helical fragment.

Proton transfer across hydrogen bonds in DNA can produce non-canonical nucleobase dimers and is a possible source of single-point mutations when these forms mismatch under replication.
