متن کاملDNA recognition and superstructure formation by helix-turn-helix proteins.
The way helix-turn-helix proteins recognize DNA is analysed by comparing their sequences, structures, and binding specificities. Individual recognition helices in these proteins bind to four DNA base pairs with the same geometry. However, pairs of recognition helices in the protein dimers can have different separations and orientations. These differences are used for discriminating between DNAs...
متن کاملA MODEL FOR THE BASIC HELIX- LOOPHELIX MOTIF AND ITS SEQUENCE SPECIFIC RECOGNITION OF DNA
A three dimensional model of the basic Helix-Loop-Helix motif and its sequence specific recognition of DNA is described. The basic-helix I is modeled as a continuous ?-helix because no ?-helix breaking residue is found between the basic region and the first helix. When the basic region of the two peptide monomers are aligned in the successive major groove of the cognate DNA, the hydrophobi...
متن کاملThe DNA double helix challenged by force
The technically challenging field of single-molecule biophysics has established itself in the last decade by granting access to detailed information about the fate of individual biomolecules, unattainable in traditional biochemical assays. The appeal of single-molecules methods lies in the directness of the information obtained from individual biomolecules. Technological improvements in single-...
متن کاملDNA triple helix stabilization by aminoglycoside antibiotics.
The stabilization of the poly(dA) x 2poly(dT) triple helix by neomycin is reported. Preliminary results indicate that neomycin stabilizes DNA triple helices and the double helical structures composed of poly(dA) x poly(dT) are virtually unaffected. This is the first report of the interaction of aminoglycoside antibiotics with DNA triple helices.
