Advances in the Determination of Nucleic Acid Conformational Ensembles [PDF]
Conformational changes in nucleic acids play a key role in the way genetic information is stored, transferred, and processed in living cells. Here, we describe new approaches that employ a broad range of experimental data, including NMR-derived chemical shifts and residual dipolar couplings, small-angle X-ray scattering, and computational approaches ...

Quantification bias caused by plasmid DNA conformation in quantitative real-time PCR assay. [PDF]
Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is the gold standard for the quantification of specific nucleic acid sequences. However, a serious concern has been revealed in a recent report: supercoiled plasmid standards cause significant over-estimation in qPCR ...

Protein-DNA interactions: statistical analysis of interatomic contacts in major and minor grooves
The interactions between protein and DNA in essence underlie all processes in a living cell. Understanding the principles of specific recognition of DNA sites will open the way to understand how these processes are controlled and to interfere in their ...
