Sequence-dependent base pair opening in DNA double helix.
Preservation of genetic information in DNA relies on shielding the nucleobases from damage within the double helix. Thermal fluctuations lead to infrequent events of the Watson-Crick basepair opening, or DNA "breathing", thus making normally buried groups available for modification and interaction with proteins. Fluctuational basepair opening implies the disruption of hydrogen bonds between the...
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 کاملO⁶-carboxymethylguanine in DNA forms a sequence context-dependent wobble base-pair structure with thymine.
N-Nitrosation of glycine and its derivatives generates potent alkylating agents that can lead to the formation of O(6)-carboxymethylguanine (O(6)-CMG) in DNA. O(6)-CMG has been identified in DNA derived from human colon tissue and its occurrence has been linked to diets high in red and processed meats, implying an association with the induction of colorectal cancer. By analogy to O(6)-methylgua...

متن کاملUnzipping of DNA with correlated base sequence.
We consider force-induced unzipping transition for a heterogeneous DNA model with a correlated base sequence. Both finite-range and long-range correlated situations are considered. It is shown that finite-range correlations increase stability of DNA with respect to the external unzipping force. Due to long-range correlations the number of unzipped base pairs displays two widely different scenar...
