Influence of thermodynamically unfavorable secondary structures on DNA hybridization kinetics
Nucleic acid secondary structure plays an important role in nucleic acid-nucleic acid recognition/hybridization processes, and is also a vital consideration in DNA nanotechnology. Although the influence of stable secondary structures on hybridization kinetics has been characterized, unstable secondary structures, which show positive ΔG° with self-folding, can also form, and their effects have n...
متن کاملInfluence of secondary structure on kinetics and reaction mechanism of DNA hybridization
Hybridization of nucleic acids with secondary structure is involved in many biological processes and technological applications. To gain more insight into its mechanism, we have investigated the kinetics of DNA hybridization/denaturation via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) on perfectly matched and single-base-mismatched DNA strands. DNA hybridization shows non-Arrhenius behavior. ...
متن کاملRNALfoldz: Efficient Prediction of Thermodynamically Stable, Local Secondary Structures
The search for local RNA secondary structures and the annotation of unusually stable folding regions in genomic sequences are two well motivated bioinformatic problems. In this contribution we introduce RNALfoldz an efficient solution two tackle both tasks. It is an extension of the RNALfold algorithm augmented by support vector regression for efficient calculation of a structure’s thermodynami...
متن کاملSecondary structure effects on DNA hybridization kinetics: a solution versus surface comparison
The hybridization kinetics for a series of designed 25mer probe-target pairs having varying degrees of secondary structure have been measured by UV absorbance and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy in solution and on the surface, respectively. Kinetic rate constants derived from the resultant data decrease with increasing probe and target secondary structure similarly in both solution...
متن کاملSecondary structures of DNA.
In view of the differences of the X-ray diffraction patterns for DNA fibers at 66 and 92 per cent relative humidities, it is proposed that the secondary structure of DNA consists of two partially intercalated double helices at 92 per cent. Possible biological implications are discussed.
