Multivalent ion-mediated nucleic acid helix-helix interactions: RNA versus DNA
Ion-mediated interaction is critical to the structure and stability of nucleic acids. Recent experiments suggest that the multivalent ion-induced aggregation of double-stranded (ds) RNAs and DNAs may strongly depend on the topological nature of helices, while there is still lack of an understanding on the relevant ion-mediated interactions at atomistic level. In this work, we have directly calc...
متن کاملIon-mediated nucleic acid helix-helix interactions.
Salt ions are essential for the folding of nucleic acids. We use the tightly bound ion (TBI) model, which can account for the correlations and fluctuations for the ions bound to the nucleic acids, to investigate the electrostatic free-energy landscape for two parallel nucleic acid helices in the solution of added salt. The theory is based on realistic atomic structures of the helices. In monova...

We have studied nucleic acid double helix destabilization mediated by purified calf helix-unwinding proteins, measuring ultraviolet hyperchromicity to detect helix melting. Both,calf unwinding protein 1 (UPl) and a high salt eluting protein fraction are found to depress strongly the helix melting temperature (T,) of the synthetic alternating copolymers poly[d(AT) ] and poly[r(AU)], indicating t...

We have studied nucleic acid double helix destabilization mediated by purified calf helix-unwinding proteins, measuring ultraviolet hyperchromicity to detect helix melting. Both calf unwinding protein 1 (UP1) and a high salt eluting protein fraction are found to depress strongly the helix melting temperature (Tm) of the synthetic alternating copolymers poly[d(AT)] and poly[r(AU)], indicating th...
