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 ...

DNA Renaturation at the Water-Phenol Interface [PDF]
We study DNA adsorption and renaturation in a water-phenol two-phase system, with or without shaking. In very dilute solutions, single-stranded DNA is adsorbed at the interface in a salt-dependent manner.

Simulation of non-specific protein–mRNA interactions [PDF]
Protein–nucleic acid interactions exhibit varying degrees of specificity. Relatively high affinity, sequence-specific interactions, can be studied with structure determination, but lower affinity, non-specific interactions are also of biological ...

Impact of modified ribose sugars on nucleic acid conformation and function
The modification of the ribofuranose in nucleic acids is a widespread method of manipulating the activity of nucleic acids. These alterations, however, impact the local conformation and chemical reactivity of the sugar.

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 ...

We have observed the conformation-dependent electronic coupling between the monomeric subunits of a dinucleotide of 2-aminopurine (2-AP), a fluorescent analogue of the nucleic acid base adenine.

Conformational classification of functional nucleic acids [PDF]
The kink parameters would provide the tolerant aspect for irregular helical structure of nucleic acid. Using these kink parameters, the classification of conformation space was carried for the functional nucleic acid molecules. The kink parameters could afford us the simple structural aspects about the constructive parts of functional molecules.

Biophysical and electrochemical studies of protein-nucleic acid interactions [PDF]
This review is devoted to biophysical and electrochemical methods used for studying protein-nucleic acid (NA) interactions. The importance of NA structure and protein-NA recognition for essential cellular processes, such as replication or transcription ...

ATP dependent NS3 helicase interaction with RNA: insights from molecular simulations [PDF]
Non structural protein 3 (NS3) helicase from hepatitis C virus is an enzyme that unwinds and translocates along nucleic acids with an ATP-dependent mechanism and has a key role in the replication of the viral RNA. An inchworm-like mechanism for translocation has been proposed based on crystal structures and single molecule experiments.
