Probing single-stranded DNA conformational flexibility using fluorescence spectroscopy.
Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) is an essential intermediate in various DNA metabolic processes and interacts with a large number of proteins. Due to its flexibility, the conformations of ssDNA in solution can only be described using statistical approaches, such as flexibly jointed or worm-like chain models. However, there is limited data available to assess such models quantitatively, especially f...
متن کاملConformational flexibility revealed by the crystal structure of a crenarchaeal RadA
Homologous recombinational repair is an essential mechanism for repair of double-strand breaks in DNA. Recombinases of the RecA-fold family play a crucial role in this process, forming filaments that utilize ATP to mediate their interactions with single- and double-stranded DNA. The recombinase molecules present in the archaea (RadA) and eukaryota (Rad51) are more closely related to each other ...
متن کاملOrigins of Structural Flexibility in Protein-Based Supramolecular Polymers Revealed by DEER Spectroscopy
Modular assembly of bio-inspired supramolecular polymers is a powerful technique to develop new soft nanomaterials, and protein folding is a versatile basis for preparing such materials. Previous work demonstrated a significant difference in the physical properties of closely related supramolecular polymers composed of building blocks in which identical coiled-coil-forming peptides are cross-li...
متن کاملConformational Analysis of Acyclic Hydrocarbons
Molecules are dynamic assemblies of atoms chemically linked by single or multiple bonds. Hence, all atoms as well as groups of atoms are in perpetual motion, vibrating and rotating about chemical bonds. The deformation of chemical bonds due to vibration (stretching, wagging, etc.) of atoms is quantized and it is not the subject of conformational analysis. However, the rotation of atoms about th...
متن کاملPrebiotic molecules in interstellar space: rotational spectroscopy and quantum chemistry
One of the most important open issues in astrochemistry and astrobiology is the detection in space of complex organic molecules, in particular those having a strong prebiotic role (i.e., related to the formation of biomolecule building blocks), and the identification of the chemical routes for their production. By means of selected examples, the role of rotational spectroscopy and quantum chemi...
