Free energy profile for unwrapping outer superhelical turn of CENP-A nucleosome

open access: yesBiophysics and Physicobiology, 2019
Eukaryotic genome is packaged in a nucleus in the form of chromatin. The fundamental structural unit of the chromatin is the protein-DNA complex, nucleosome, where DNA of about 150 bp is wrapped around a histone core almost twice.

Coumarin‐Augmented Thiazole Hybrids as Dual Anticancer and Antibacterial Agents

open access: yesChemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.
Compound 13, a coumarin‐thiazole hybrid, is shown engaging the ATP‐binding site of S. aureus GyrB through a novel hydrogen bond with residue SER129. The molecule exhibits dual antibacterial and anticancer activity, supporting its potential as a dual‐target topoisomerase inhibitor.

H-NS forms a superhelical protein scaffold for DNA condensation

open access: yes, 2010
The histone-like nucleoid structuring (H-NS) protein plays a fundamental role in DNA condensation and is a key regulator of enterobacterial gene expression in response to changes in osmolarity, pH, and temperature.

Hopping into a hot seat: Role of DNA structural features on IS5-mediated gene activation and inactivation under stress. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Insertion sequence elements (IS elements) are proposed to play major roles in shaping the genetic and phenotypic landscapes of prokaryotic cells. Recent evidence has raised the possibility that environmental stress conditions increase IS hopping into new

Ergostanes and Cytochalasin From the Fruiting Bodies of Xylaria longipes Nitschke and Their Cytotoxicity Evaluation

open access: yesJournal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Four ergostanes—ergosta‐7,22,24(28)‐trien‐3β‐ol (1), ergosta‐7,24(28)‐dien‐3‐one (2), ergosta‐7,22,24(28)‐trien‐3‐one (3), and ergosta‐4,6,8(14),22‐tetraen‐3‐one (4)—and one cytochalasin, zygosporin D (5), were isolated from Xylaria longipes. Two compounds, 2 and 3, are novel but have a similar structure to Compound (1), except for the keto group at ...

Representation of the superhelical pitches and changes of the distances in the DNA-free and DNA-bound systems.

open access: yes, 2013
(A) The cartoon representation of 11.5 TAL repeats and the DNA. The superhelical pitch of dHax3 is assessed by the distance between the Cα atoms of G303 (Gly303) and G675 (Gly675) (left), and the pitch of DNA by the distance between the C3′ atoms of 1dC ...
