Nucleotides: Structure and Properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Nucleotides consist of a nitrogen-containing base, a five-carbon sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. Cells contain many types of nucleotides, which play a central role in a wide variety of cellular processes, including metabolic regulation and the ...

Mechanism of RNA 2′,3′-cyclic phosphate end healing by T4 polynucleotide kinase–phosphatase

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2012
T4 polynucleotide kinase–phosphatase (Pnkp) exemplifies a family of enzymes with 5′-kinase and 3′-phosphatase activities that function in nucleic acid repair.

Beyond nocardioform: Transcriptionally active microbes and host responses in equine mucoid placentitis

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Nocardioform placentitis (NP) is an understudied form of equine placentitis historically attributed to nocardioform bacteria, yet it remains uncertain whether these organisms are the sole pathogens involved. Objectives To elucidate the pathophysiology of NP and the host–pathogen interaction. Study Design In vivo clinical multi‐omics

Human FASTK preferentially binds single‐stranded and G‐rich RNA

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Although FASTK is known to play a role in mRNA biology, the mechanism through which it recognizes RNA has yet to be unraveled. Here, we used purified human FASTK to characterize its RNA‐binding properties in vitro. We found that FASTK prefers ssRNA oligonucleotides containing guanines with the potential to form G‐quadruplexes and binds robustly to any ...

Template-directed biopolymerization: tape-copying Turing machines

open access: yes, 2012
DNA, RNA and proteins are among the most important macromolecules in a living cell. These molecules are polymerized by molecular machines. These natural nano-machines polymerize such macromolecules, adding one monomer at a time, using another linear ...

Enzymatic strategies for phosphorus utilization in periphyton: A study of alkaline phosphatase kinetics in post‐mining lakes

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Alkaline phosphatase (AP) plays an important role in phosphorus (P) cycling in aquatic ecosystems, particularly under nutrient limitation. In post‐mining lakes of Czechia, periphyton forms extensive mats despite chronic P deficiency, suggesting dissolved organic P (DOP) may serve as a key P source.

DNA strand break repair and neurodegeneration. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A number of DNA repair disorders are known to cause neurological problems. These disorders can be broadly characterised into early developmental, mid-to-late developmental or progressive.

The FsrA‐Mediated Iron‐Sparing Response Regulates the Biosynthesis of the Epipeptide EPE in Bacillus subtilis

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Under iron‐limited conditions, FsrA base‐pairs with the intergenic region between epeX and epeE, enhancing epeE translation and triggering EPE production. Toxin‐mediated cell lysis releases nutrients, including iron, which can be taken up by surviving cells.

Adiabatic differential scanning calorimetric study of divalent cation induced DNA - DPPC liposome formulation compacted for gene delivery

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2004
Complexes between nucleic acids and phospholipid vesicles have been developed as stable non-viral gene delivery vehicles. Currently employed approach uses positively charged lipid species and a helper zwitterionic lipid, the latter being applied for the ...

Electronic analogue of DNA [PDF]

open access: yesКомпьютерные исследования и моделирование, 2017
It is known that the internal mobility of DNA molecules plays an important role in the functioning of these molecules. This explains the great interest of researchers in studying the internal dynamics of DNA.
