Effect of loop length variation on quadruplex-Watson Crick duplex competition
The effect of loop length on quadruplex stability has been studied when the G-rich strand is present along with its complementary C-rich strand, thereby resulting in competition between quadruplex and duplex structures. Using model sequences with loop lengths varying from T to T5, we carried out extensive FRET to discover the influence of loop length on the quadruplex-Watson Crick duplex compet...
متن کاملWatson-Crick D0L Systems
D0L systems constitute the simplest and most widely studied type of Lindenmayer systems. They have the remarkable property of generating their language as a (word) sequence and, consequently, are very suitable for modeling growth properties. In this paper a new type of D0L systems is introduced, where the parallelism presented in L systems is combined with the paradigm of (Watson-Crick) complem...
متن کاملHuman telomeric DNA: G-quadruplex, i-motif and Watson-Crick double helix.
Human telomeric DNA composed of (TTAGGG/CCCTAA)n repeats may form a classical Watson-Crick double helix. Each individual strand is also prone to quadruplex formation: the G-rich strand may adopt a G-quadruplex conformation involving G-quartets whereas the C-rich strand may fold into an i-motif based on intercalated C*C+ base pairs. Using an equimolar mixture of the telomeric oligonucleotides d[...
متن کاملRestricted deterministic Watson-Crick automata
In this paper, we introduce a new model of deterministic Watson-Crick automaton namely restricted deterministic WatsonCrick automaton which is a deterministic Watson-Crick automaton where the complementarity string in the lower strand is restricted to a language L. We examine the computational power of the restricted model with respect to L being in different language classes such as regular, u...
متن کاملA Short Survey on Watson-Crick Automata
This paper surveys some known results in Watson-Crick automata theory. In particular, we concentrate on the computational power, complexity measures, decidability problems, and systems of Watson-Crick automata working together on the same input. This selection of topics is not exhaustive, reflecting the research interests of the authors. A series of open problems and questions is also included.
