Communication Model of DNA Replication
The all-purpose communication model proposed by the author previously for DNA replication suggests that if the base pairing time of GC bases is between 1.65 and 3 times the base pairing time of AT bases (with the proportional ratio denoted by α), then the quaternary DNA system has the optimal information rate for all species on average. In the absence of a definitive experimental determination ...
متن کاملMinimalist molecular model for nanopore selectivity.
Using a simple model it is shown that the cost of constraining a hydrated potassium ion inside a narrow nanopore is smaller than the cost of constraining the smaller hydrated sodium ion. The former allows for a greater distortion of its hydration shell and can therefore maintain a better coordination. We propose that in this way the larger ion can go through narrow pores more easily. This is re...
متن کاملXenopus ATR is a replication-dependent chromatin-binding protein required for the DNA replication checkpoint
BACKGROUND The DNA replication checkpoint ensures that mitosis is not initiated before DNA synthesis is completed. Recent studies using Xenopus extracts have demonstrated that activation of the replication checkpoint and phosphorylation of the Chk1 kinase are dependent on RNA primer synthesis by DNA polymerase alpha, and it has been suggested that the ATR kinase-so-called because it is related ...
متن کاملEntanglement Swapping Model of DNA Replication
Molecular biology explains function of molecules by their geometrical and electronical structures that are mainly determined by utilization of quantum effects in chemistry. However, further quantum effects are not thought to play any significant role in the essential processes of life. On the contrary, consideration of quantum circuits/protocols and organic molecules as software and hardware of...
متن کاملGenome-wide model for the normal eukaryotic DNA replication fork.
To investigate DNA replication enzymology across the nuclear genome of budding yeast, deep sequencing was used to establish the pattern of uncorrected replication errors generated by an asymmetric mutator variant of DNA polymerase δ (Pol δ). Sequencing of 16 genomes identified 1,206-bp substitutions generated over 33 generations by L612M Pol δ in a mismatch repair defective strain. Alignment of...
