Conformational properties of DNA strands containing guanine-adenine and thymine-adenine repeats.
CD spectroscopy and PAGE were used to cooperatively analyze melting conformers of DNA strands containing GA and TA dinucleotide repeats. The 20mer (GA)10 formed a homoduplex in neutral solutions containing physiological concentrations of salts and this homoduplex was not destabilized even in the terminal (GA)3 hexamers of (GA)3(TA)4(GA)3, although the central (TA)4 portion of this oligonucleoti...
متن کاملIsoguanine formation from adenine.
Several possible mechanisms underlying isoguanine formation when OH radical attacks the C(2) position of adenine (A C 2) are investigated theoretically for the first time. Two steps are involved in this process. In the first step, one of two low-lying A C 2⋅⋅⋅OH reactant complexes is formed, leading to C(2)-H(2) bond cleavage. Between the two reactant complexes there is a small isomerization ba...
متن کاملModeling of the hydration shell of Adenine
The molecular geometry of complex of adenine with 8 water molecules was calculated with Hartree-Fock (HF). The standard 6-31G(d) basis set has been employed. The existence of C-H…O Hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and the hydrophobic part of nucleobase is stablished. We optimized structures and computed interaction energies of all complexes of adenine with water molecules step by step...
متن کاملSingle-stranded, adenine-rich RNA from purified reoviruses.
Reoviruses are known to contain double-stranded (DS) RNA.' It was therefore surprising to find that RNA extracted from highly purified reovirus type 3 and analyzed without further fractionation had a purine/pyrimidine ratio of 1.5 and an adenylic acid content of more than 40 moles per cent. In an effort to understand the basis for this observation, the RNA's of all three reovirus serotypes were...
متن کاملUltrafast structural dynamics of photoexcited adenine.
We report deep UV initiated excited state dynamics of the canonical nucleobase adenine (Ade) through Resonance Raman (RR) intensity analysis. RR spectra of Ade at excitation wavelengths throughout the Bb absorption band in the 210-230 nm wavelength range are measured and subsequently converted to scattering cross-sections. The time-dependent wave packet (TDWP) formalism has been employed for se...
