Dissociation kinetics of 19 base paired oligonucleotide-DNA duplexes containing different single mismatched base pairs [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1987
The dissociation kinetics of 19 base paired oligonucleotide-DNA duplex containing a various single mismatched base pair are studied on dried agarose gels. The kinetics of the dissociation are first order under our experimental conditions. The incorporation of a single mismatched base pair destabilizes the DNA duplexes to some extent, the amount ...

Equilibrium Distribution of Mutators in the Single Fitness Peak Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
This paper develops an analytically tractable model for determining the equilibrium distribution of mismatch repair deficient strains in unicellular populations. The approach is based on the single fitness peak (SFP) model, which has been used in Eigen's

Mismatched DNA Base Pairs Show Increased Conformational Fluctuations [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2015
Base pair mismatches in DNA can have many adverse consequences, yet the exact mechanism by which mismatches are repaired is unknown. Both matched and mismatched DNA sequences were studied using molecular dynamics in biased and unbiased simulation. Significant differences were found between matched and mismatched pairs in structure, hydrogen bonding ...

Sequence specific fluorescence detection of double strand DNA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Methods for the fluorescent detection of specific sequences of double strand DNA in homogeneous solution may be useful in the field of human genetics. A series of hairpin polyamides with tetramethyl rhodamine (TMR) attached to an internal pyrrole ring ...

Unanticipated differences between α- and γ-diaminobutyric acid-linked hairpin polyamide-alkylator conjugates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Hairpin polyamide–chlorambucil conjugates containing an {alpha}-diaminobutyric acid ({alpha}-DABA) turn moiety are compared to their constitutional isomers containing the well-characterized {gamma}-DABA turn.

Dependence of Fluorescence Quenching of CY3 Oligonucleotide Conjugates on the Oxidation Potential of the Stacking Base Pair

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
To understand the complex fluorescence properties of astraphloxin (CY3)-labelled oligonucleotides, it is necessary to take into account the redox properties of the nucleobases.

Multiscale simulations reveal the role of PcrA helicase in protecting against spontaneous point mutations in DNA

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
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.

Guanine- 5-carboxylcytosine base pairs mimic mismatches during DNA replication [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2014
AbstractThe genetic information encoded in genomes must be faithfully replicated and transmitted to daughter cells. The recent discovery of consecutive DNA conversions by TET family proteins of 5-methylcytosine into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, 5-formylcytosine and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) suggests these modified cytosines act as DNA lesions, which could ...

DNA-Mediated Electrochemistry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The base pair stack of DNA has been demonstrated as a medium for long-range charge transport chemistry both in solution and at DNA-modified surfaces. This chemistry is exquisitely sensitive to structural perturbations in the base pair stack as occur with

Rewriting Human History and Empowering Indigenous Communities with Genome Editing Tools. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Appropriate empirical-based evidence and detailed theoretical considerations should be used for evolutionary explanations of phenotypic variation observed in the field of human population genetics (especially Indigenous populations). Investigators within
