Thermodynamic Analysis of Interacting Nucleic Acid Strands [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Review, 2007
Motivated by the analysis of natural and engineered DNA and RNA systems, we present the first algorithm for calculating the partition function of an unpseudoknotted complex of multiple interacting nucleic acid strands. This dynamic program is based on a rigorous extension of secondary structure models to the multistranded case, addressing ...

Thermodynamic analysis of Zα domain-nucleic acid interactions [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2022
AbstractDNA/RNA molecules adopting the left-handed conformation (Z-form) have been attributed with immunogenic properties. However, their biological role and importance has been a topic of debate for many years. The discovery of Z-DNA/RNA binding domains (Zα domains) in varied proteins that are involved in the innate immune response, such as the ...

Thermodynamic Analysis of Nylon Nucleic Acids [PDF]

open access: yesChemBioChem, 2008
AbstractThe stability and structure of nylon nucleic acid duplexes with complementary DNA and RNA strands was examined. Thermal denaturing studies of a series of oligonucleotides that contained nylon nucleic acids (1–5 amide linkages) revealed that the amide linkage significantly enhanced the binding affinity of nylon nucleic acids towards both ...

NTDB: Thermodynamic Database for Nucleic Acids [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2001
A new thermodynamic database for normal and modified nucleic acids has been developed. This Thermodynamic Database for Nucleic Acids (NTDB) includes sequence, structure and thermodynamic information as well as experimental methods and conditions. In this release, there are 1851 sequences containing both normal and modified nucleic acids.

Monovalent metal ion binding promotes the first transesterification reaction in the spliceosome

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Cleavage and formation of phosphodiester bonds in nucleic acids is accomplished by large cellular machineries composed of both protein and RNA. Long thought to rely on a two-metal-ion mechanism for catalysis, structure comparisons revealed many contain ...

Thermodynamic framework to assess low abundance DNA mutation detection by hybridization. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
The knowledge of genomic DNA variations in patient samples has a high and increasing value for human diagnostics in its broadest sense. Although many methods and sensors to detect or quantify these variations are available or under development, the ...

Thermodynamic database for protein–nucleic acid interactions (ProNIT) [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformatics, 2001
Abstract Motivation: Protein–nucleic acid interactions are fundamental to the regulation of gene expression. In order to elucidate the molecular mechanism of protein–nucleic acid recognition and analyze the gene regulation network, not only structural data but also quantitative binding data are necessary.
