Dynamics of Ionic Interactions at Protein–Nucleic Acid Interfaces
Conspectus Molecular association of proteins with nucleic acids is required for many biological processes essential to life. Electrostatic interactions via ion pairs (salt bridges) of nucleic acid phosphates and protein side chains are crucial for ...

Studying epigenetic interactions using MicroScale Thermophoresis (MST)
Epigenetic regulation is based on specific molecular interactions between epigenetic reader, writer and eraser molecules and chromatin. Binding parameters of these interactions such as binding affinities, stoichiometries and thermodynamics are essential ...

Modified RNA triplexes: Thermodynamics, structure and biological potential
The occurrence of triplexes in vivo has been well documented and is determined by the presence of long homopurine-homopyrimidine tracts. The formation of these structures is the result of conformational changes that occur in the duplex, which allow the ...

ProTherm and ProNIT: thermodynamic databases for proteins and protein-nucleic acid interactions [PDF]
ProTherm and ProNIT are two thermodynamic databases that contain experimentally determined thermodynamic parameters of protein stability and protein-nucleic acid interactions, respectively. The current versions of both the databases have considerably increased the total number of entries and enhanced search interface with added new fields, improved ...
