Prediction of DNA-binding residues from sequence
MOTIVATION Thousands of proteins are known to bind to DNA; for most of them the mechanism of action and the residues that bind to DNA, i.e. the binding sites, are yet unknown. Experimental identification of binding sites requires expensive and laborious methods such as mutagenesis and binding essays. Hence, such studies are not applicable on a large scale. If the 3D structure of a protein is kn...
متن کاملPredicting DNA-Binding Proteins and Binding Residues by Complex Structure Prediction and Application to Human Proteome
As more and more protein sequences are uncovered from increasingly inexpensive sequencing techniques, an urgent task is to find their functions. This work presents a highly reliable computational technique for predicting DNA-binding function at the level of protein-DNA complex structures, rather than low-resolution two-state prediction of DNA-binding as most existing techniques do. The method f...
متن کاملCriteria for the mode of binding of DNA binding agents.
A complete characterization of DNA binding agents requires that their mode of binding to DNA be established. In the absence of high resolution structural data, the mode of binding is, of necessity, usually inferred indirectly from various solution studies. The purpose of this study is to show that only certain methods can be used reliably to infer the DNA binding mode. Comparative fluorescence ...
متن کاملBINDING OF THE ANTITUMOR DRUG ADRIAMYCIN TO DNA-HISTONE COMPLEXES
Isotherms of the binding of the anthracycIine antibiotic, adriamycin (adriblastin), to DNA histone complexes was studied by means of spectroscopic analysis. The results indicated that: (a) binding of adriamycin to histones reduced the interaction of histones with DNA, (b) binding of the drug to DNA did not change the binding affinity of histone to DNA and, (c) in the explored binding range...
متن کاملManganese and Iron Binding to Human Transferrin
The characteristics of manganese and iron binding to human apotransferrin (apo-tf) have been investigated and compared in this study. Both metal ions were taken up by human apo-tf and formed complexes, with the maximum absorbances observed at 410 and 340 nm for manganese-transferrin (Mn-tf) and 465 nm for iron-transferrin (Fe-tf). Addition of manganese (1.5 µg/ml) to the reaction mixture contai...
