Driven Polymer Translocation Through a Narrow Pore [PDF]
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 ...

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.

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

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 ...

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

Lipids contribute to epigenetic control via chromatin structure and functions
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.

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]
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 ...

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 ...
