Modelling proton tunnelling in the adenine-thymine base pair.
The energies of the canonical (standard, amino-keto) and tautomeric (non-standard, imino-enol) charge-neutral forms of the adenine-thymine base pair (A-T and A*-T*, respectively) are calculated using density functional theory. The reaction pathway is then computed using a transition state search to provide the asymmetric double-well potential minima along with the barrier height and shape, whic...
متن کاملProton exchange and base-pair opening kinetics in 5'-d(CGCGAATTCGCG)-3' and related dodecamers.
We have used nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to measure the lifetimes of individual base-pairs in the palindromic DNA oligonucleotide 5'-d(CGCGAATTCGCG)-3' and in three other dodecamers with symmetrical base substitutions in the sites underlined. The resonances of the hydrogen-bonded imino protons in each of the substituted oligomers in the duplex form have been assigned using one...
متن کاملStructural and dynamic properties of a fluorouracil-adenine base pair in DNA studied by proton NMR.
An oligodeoxynucleotide duplex containing the chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil (FU) has been constructed by solid phase phosphotriester synthesis and has been studied in solution by proton NMR. In this study, we provide the first structural characterization of a DNA complex containing a FU.A base pair. It has been determined that the 7-mer duplex containing a central FU.A base pair adopts ...
متن کاملBase pair analogs in the gas phase.
A rotationally resolved electronic spectrum of the gas-phase dimer 2-aminopyridine.2-pyridone, an analog of the adenine.thymine base pair, has been observed and assigned, leading to precise measurements of its moments of inertia and preliminary determinations of its structure. A Watson-Crick configuration results, with N...H-N and N-H...O hydrogen bond lengths of 2.898 and 2.810 A, respectively...
متن کاملNear Threshold KK Meson-Pair Production in Proton-Proton Collisions
The near threshold total cross section and angular distributions of KK pair production via the reaction pp −→ ppKK have been studied at an excess energy of Q = 17 MeV using the COSY-11 facility at the cooler synchrotron COSY. The obtained cross section as well as an upper limit at an excess energy of Q = 3 MeV represent the first measurements on the KK production in the region of small excess e...
