Viral genome structures are optimal for capsid assembly
eLife, 2013 Understanding how virus capsids assemble around their nucleic acid (NA) genomes could promote efforts to block viral propagation or to reengineer capsids for gene therapy applications.

Binding of threading intercalator to nucleic acids: Thermodynamic analyses [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Symposium Series, 2002 The constant melting temperature upon the change in the oligonucleotide concentration showed that the oligonucleotide d(CGCTTTGCG) formed a intramolecular hairpin rather than a duplex with an internal loop. We examined the thermodynamic properties of the interaction between the threading intercalator, naphthalene diimides designated as NDI, and a ...

Thermodynamics of Nucleic Acid “Shape Readout” by an Aminosugar [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2011 Recognition of nucleic acids is important for our understanding of nucleic acid structure as well as for our understanding of nucleic acid-protein interactions. In addition to the direct readout mechanisms of nucleic acids such as H-bonding, shape recognition of nucleic acids is being increasingly recognized as playing an equally important role in DNA ...

Study of E. coli Hfq's RNA annealing acceleration and duplex destabilization activities using substrates with different GC-contents [PDF]
, 2012 Folding of RNA molecules into their functional three-dimensional structures is often supported by RNA chaperones, some of which can catalyse the two elementary reactions helix disruption and helix formation.

Nucleic acid-lipid membrane interactions studied by DSC
Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2011 The interactions of nucleic acids with lipid membranes are of great importance for biological mechanisms as well as for biotechnological applications in gene delivery and drug carriers. The optimization of liposomal vectors for clinical use is absolutely

The origins and physical roots of life’s dual – metabolic and genetic – nature [PDF]
, 2017 This review paper aims at a better understanding of the origin and physical foundation of life’s dual – metabolic and genetic – nature. First, I give a concise ‘top-down’ survey of the origin of life, i.e., backwards in time from extant DNA/RNA/protein ...

The thermodynamic landscape of carbon redox biochemistry [PDF]
, 2018 Redox biochemistry plays a key role in the transduction of chemical energy in all living systems. Observed redox reactions in metabolic networks represent only a minuscule fraction of the space of all possible redox reactions.

An efficient algorithm for the stochastic simulation of the hybridization of DNA to microarrays
BMC Bioinformatics, 2009 Background Although oligonucleotide microarray technology is ubiquitous in genomic research, reproducibility and standardization of expression measurements still concern many researchers. Cross-hybridization between microarray probes and non-target ssDNA
