DNA-directed base pair opening.
Strand separation is a fundamental molecular process essential for the reading of the genetic information during DNA replication, transcription and recombination. However, DNA melting in physiological conditions in which the double helix is expected to be stable represents a challenging problem. Current models propose that negative supercoiling destabilizes the double helix and promotes the spo...

15 صفحه اولA structural snapshot of base-pair opening in DNA.
The response of double-helical DNA to torsional stress may be a driving force for many processes acting on DNA. The 1.55-A crystal structure of a duplex DNA oligonucleotide d(CCAGGCCTGG)(2) with an engineered crosslink in the minor groove between the central guanine bases depicts how the duplex can accommodate such torsional stress. We have captured in the same crystal two rather different conf...
متن کاملFemtosecond dynamics of a drug-protein complex: daunomycin with Apo riboflavin-binding protein.
In this contribution, we report studies of the primary dynamics of the drug-protein complexes of daunomycin with apo riboflavin-binding protein. With femtosecond resolution, we observed the ultrafast charge separation between daunomycin and aromatic amino acid residues of the protein, tryptophan(s). Electron transfer occurs from tryptophan(s) to daunomycin with two reaction times, 1 ps and 6 ps...
متن کاملAtomistic model of DNA: phonons and base-pair opening.
A fully atomistic model of B-DNA using the CHARMM (chemistry at Harvard molecular mechanics) force field is presented. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to prepare an equilibrium structure. The Hessian of interatomic forces obtained from CHARMM for the equilibrium structure was used as input to a large scale phonon calculation. The calculated dispersion relations at low frequency are com...
