A uniform mechanism correlating dangling-end stabilization and stacking geometry.
The geometry of the dangling base in 105 published structures (from X-ray/NMR) containing single-stranded overhangs has been analyzed and correlated to the thermodynamic stabilization found (UV) for the corresponding dangling base/closing basepair combination in short oligonucleotides. The study considers most combinations of closing basepairs, sequence and dangling base residue type, attached ...
متن کاملContributions of dangling end stacking and terminal base-pair formation to the stabilities of XGGCCp, XCCGGp, XGGCCYp, and XCCGGYp helixes.
The role of stacking in terminal base-pair formation was studied by comparison of the stability increments for dangling ends to those for fully formed base pairs. Thermodynamic parameters were measured spectrophotometrically for helix formation of the hexanucleotides AGGCCUp, UGGCCAp, CGGCCGp, GCCGGCp, and UCCGGAp and for the corresponding pentanucleotides containing a 5'-dangling end on the GG...
متن کاملExperimental measurement of carbohydrate-aromatic stacking in water by using a dangling-ended DNA model system.
Protein-carbohydrate recognition is of fundamental importance for a large number of biological processes; carbohydrate-aromatic stacking is a widespread, but poorly understood, structural motif in this recognition. We describe, for the first time, the measurement of carbohydrate-aromatic interactions from their contribution to the stability of a dangling-ended DNA model system. We observe clear...
متن کاملStabilization of RNA stacking by pseudouridine.
The effect of the modified nucleoside pseudouridine (psi) on RNA structure was compared with uridine. The extent of base stacking in model RNA oligonucleotides was measured by 1H NMR, UV, and CD spectroscopy. The UV and CD results indicate that the model single-stranded oligoribonucleotides AAUA and AA psi A form stacked structures in solution and the CD results for AA psi A are consistent with...
متن کاملDiscovering Network Topology by Correlating End-to-end Delay Measurements
Conventional methods of discovering network topology require the cooperation of network elements. We present a method of network topology discovery based solely upon end-to-end delay measurements that requires only the cooperation of end systems. Previous work using end-to-end measurements has focused on discovering tree topologies; the method here discovers more general networks. The discovery...
