DNA Representation based on Ladder like Structure Property of DNA Sequence Double Helix
Biological sequences play a major role in molecular and computational biology.DNA sequence representation remains as one of the critical steps in the analysis of relationships between species. There are several 2D and 3-D graphical representation methods for DNA sequences. We have introduced a tabular method for representing DNA sequences which will decreases the degeneracy problem occurred in ...
متن کاملTau could protect DNA double helix structure.
The hyperchromic effect has been used to detect the effect of tau on the transition of double-stranded DNA to single-stranded DNA. It was shown that tau increased the melting temperature of calf thymus DNA from 67 to 81 degrees C and that of plasmid from 75 to 85 degrees C. Kinetically, rates of increase in absorbance at 260 nm of DNA incubated with tau were markedly slower than those of DNA an...
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 کاملDNA structure: Revisiting the Watson–Crick double helix
Watson and Crick’s postulation in 1953, exactly 50 years ago, of a double helical structure for DNA, heralded a revolution in our understanding of biology at the molecular level. The fact that it immediately suggested a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material aroused the maximum interest, but the structure itself (often referred to as the B-DNA structure, by association with the cor...
متن کاملFluctuations in the DNA double helix: A critical review.
A critical overview of the extensive literature on fluctuations in the DNA double helix is presented. Both theory and experiment are comprehensively reviewed and analyzed. Fluctuations, which open up the DNA double helix making bases accessible for hydrogen exchange and chemical modification, are the main focus of the review. Theoretical descriptions of the DNA fluctuations are discussed with s...
