Base pair openings and temperature dependence of DNA flexibility.
The relationship of base pair openings to DNA flexibility is examined. Published experimental data on the temperature dependence of the persistence length by two different groups are well described in terms of an inhomogeneous Kratky-Porot model with soft and hard joints, corresponding to open and closed base pairs, and sequence-dependent statistical information about the state of each pair pro...
متن کاملDNA-directed base pair opening.
Strand separation is a fundamental molecular process essential for the reading of the genetic information during DNA replication, transcription and recombination. However, DNA melting in physiological conditions in which the double helix is expected to be stable represents a challenging problem. Current models propose that negative supercoiling destabilizes the double helix and promotes the spo...
متن کاملConstruction of a Synthetic Vector for Preparation of a 100 Base Pair DNA Ladder
DNA size markers are widely used to estimate the size of DNA samples on agarose or polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis (PAGE). DNA markers can be prepared by mixing PCR products with definite sizes.Alternatively, they are prepared by restriction enzyme digestion of the genomic DNA of bacteriophages ornatural and synthetic DNA plasmids. The present study describes engineering of ...
متن کاملDNA deformability at the base pair level.
A complete set of harmonic force constants describing the DNA deformation energetics at the base pair level was obtained using unrestrained atomic-resolution molecular dynamics simulations of selected duplex oligonucleotides and subsequent analysis of structural fluctuations from the simulated trajectories. The deformation was described by the six base pair conformational parameters (buckle, pr...
