Driven Polymer Translocation Through a Narrow Pore [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Motivated by experiments in which a polynucleotide is driven through a proteinaceous pore by an electric field, we study the diffusive motion of a polymer threaded through a narrow channel with which it may have strong interactions. We show that there is a range of polymer lengths in which the system is approximately translationally invariant, and we ...

Synthesis, Cyclopolymerization and Cyclo-Copolymerization of 9-(2-Diallylaminoethyl)adenine and Its Hydrochloride Salt

open access: yesMolecules, 2012
We report herein the synthesis and characterization of 9-(2-diallylaminoethyl) adenine. We evaluated two different synthetic routes starting with adenine where the optimal route was achieved through coupling of 9-(2-chloroethyl)adenine with diallylamine.

Identification and hydropathic characterization of structural features affecting sequence specificity for doxorubicin intercalation into DNA double-stranded polynucleotides.

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1998
The computer molecular modeling program HINT (Hydropathic INTeractions), an empirical hydropathic force field function that includes hydrogen bonding, coulombic and hydrophobic terms, was used to study sequence-selective doxorubicin binding/intercalation

Naphthalene diimide–amino acid conjugates as novel fluorimetric and CD probes for differentiation between ds-DNA and ds-RNA

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2020
Two novel unnatural amino acids, prepared by linking a dicationic purple-coloured and fluorescent naphthalene diimide (NDI) at core position to amino acid side chains of variable length, strongly interacted with ds-DNA/RNA by threading intercalation ...

A New DNA Repair-Related Platform for Pharmaceutical Outlook in Cancer Therapies: Ultrashort Single-Stranded Polynucleotides

open access: yesScientia Pharmaceutica, 2019
Thio- and cyano- modified single-stranded poly(dNTP) sequences of different molecular sizes (20−200 n) and the same lengths routine poly(dNTP) and poly(NTP) species were tested for their impact on catalytic activities of β-like DNA polymerases

A new cationic liposome encapsulating genetic material. A potential delivery system for polynucleotides.

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1995
The endeavour to enhance gene therapy has led to increased research on the development of simple, efficient and safe delivery systems. This study deals with the use of an artificial cationic lipid on the encapsulation of genetic material in liposomes ...

Lipids contribute to epigenetic control via chromatin structure and functions

open access: yesScienceOpen Research, 2015
Isolated cases of experimental evidence over the last few decades have shown that, where specifically tested, both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have specific lipid molecules bound to nucleoproteins of the genome.

Une étape de l'évolution chimique: la formation de polypeptides et de polynucléotides dans des conditions prébiotiques

open access: yesCHIMIA, 1974
Owing to a suitable enzymatic equipment the living cell synthesizes macromolecular chains (proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides) which can be considered as condensation products of the corresponding difunctionnal monomers (amino acids, nucleotides ...

Solvable models of neighbor-dependent nucleotide substitution processes [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2005
We prove that a wide class of models of Markov neighbor-dependent substitution processes on the integer line is solvable. This class contains some models of nucleotide substitutions recently introduced and studied empirically by molecular biologists. We show that the polynucleotide frequencies at equilibrium solve explicit finite-size linear systems ...

Mesoscopic irreversible thermodynamics of aging kinetics of alpha polypeptides [DNA] under various constraints: Special reference to the simple spring mechanics

open access: yesAIP Advances
The mesoscopic irreversible thermodynamic treatment of α-polypeptides and the helical polynucleotides (DNA) furnishes two sets of analytical expressions, which allow us not only to analyze the reversible force–extension experiments performed by atomic ...
