Global Studies of Single-Stranded Nucleic Acid Conformation [PDF]
Unstructured regions of RNA molecules require flexibility to accomplish many biological tasks such as conformational switching and protein recognition. Due to its highly charged backbone, the flexibility of single-stranded RNA is influenced by counterions.

Dependence of interferon induction on nucleic acid conformation. [PDF]
UV and circular dichroism characteristics of duplex analogs belonging to the (A)n-(U)n and (I)n-(C)n series were determined to assign qualitatively the nature of conformational differences caused by 5-pyrimidine and c7 purine substitutions in such duplexes.

Conformational analysis of nucleic acids revisited: Curves+ [PDF]
We describe Curves+, a new nucleic acid conformational analysis program which is applicable to a wide range of nucleic acid structures, including those with up to four strands and with either canonical or modified bases and backbones. The program is algorithmically simpler and computationally much faster than the earlier Curves approach, although it ...

The electrostatic field of DNA: the role of the nucleic acid conformation
Calculations of the electrostatic field of DNA in two very different double helical conformations, A and Z, are reported and compared with the results previously obtained for B-DNA. Striking contrasts between these fields and the associated electrostatic potentials are brought into evidence.

An epimer of threose nucleic acid enhances oligonucleotide exonuclease resistance through end capping [PDF]
End capping of oligonucleotides by modified nucleotides is essential for boosting resistance to 3’ exonuclease degradation, thereby enhancing their stability and therapeutic efficacy in vivo.

Methylation Effects on Nucleic Acid Conformations [PDF]
Chemical modification of nucleic acids by alkylating agents continues to be extensively explored from the perspective of chemical mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. Largely through the pioneering in vitro and in vivo studies of Lawley (1961), Lawley and Brookes (1963), Singer (1972), and Reese and coworkers (1965), coupled with theoretical predictions of ...

A Nonafluoro Nucleoside as a Sensitive 19F NMR Probe of Nucleic Acid Conformation [PDF]
A nucleoside carrying a perfluorinated tert-butyl group ( 4) was prepared by a Sonogashira coupling of 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine with 4,4,4-trifluoro-3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1-butyne in nearly quantitative yield and subsequently incorporated into DNA ...
