Double hairpin complexes allow accommodation of all four base pairs in triple helices containing both DNA and RNA strands.
We investigated the binding of an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide to a stem-loop structure corresponding to the mini-exon sequence of the protozoan parasite Leishmania amazonensis. This oligomer was designed to anneal to the single-stranded region adjacent to the bottom of the hairpin and to fold back on itself, giving rise to a "double-hairpin" complex that involved a local triplex. This impose...
متن کاملSpectroscopic studies of chimeric DNA-RNA and RNA 29-base intramolecular triple helices.
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV absorption and exchangeable proton NMR spectroscopies have been used to study the formation and stability of two intramolecular pH-dependent triple helices composed by a chimeric 29mer DNA-RNA (DNA double strand and RNA third strand) or by the analogous 29mer RNA. In both cases decrease of pH induces formation of a triple helical structure containing either...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)
1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...
Stabilities of intrastrand pyrimidine motif DNA and RNA triple helices.
Nucleic acid triple helices have provoked interest since their discovery more than 40 years ago, but it remains unknown whether such structures occur naturally in cells. To pursue this question, it is important to determine the stabilities of representative triple helices at physiological temperature and pH. Previous investigations have concluded that while both DNA and RNA can participate in t...
