Understanding the kinetic mechanism of RNA single base pair formation.
RNA functions are intrinsically tied to folding kinetics. The most elementary step in RNA folding is the closing and opening of a base pair. Understanding this elementary rate process is the basis for RNA folding kinetics studies. Previous studies mostly focused on the unfolding of base pairs. Here, based on a hybrid approach, we investigate the folding process at level of single base pairing/s...
متن کاملAtomistic understanding of kinetic pathways for single base-pair binding and unbinding in DNA.
We combine free-energy calculations and molecular dynamics to elucidate a mechanism for DNA base-pair binding and unbinding in atomic detail. Specifically, transition-path sampling is used to overcome computational limitations associated with conventional techniques to harvest many trajectories for the flipping of a terminal cytosine in a 3-bp oligomer in explicit water. Comparison with free-en...
متن کاملVisualizing RNA Secondary Structure Base Pair Probabilities
RNAbow diagrams are a versatile tool for visualizing and comparing ensembles of RNA secondary structures. Previously, RNAbows have proved useful when investigating individual ensembles of folds, performing cluster analysis, and identifying conformational changes caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms [Aalberts and Jannen, RNA, 19, 475–478 (2013)]. This contest submission highlights their use...
متن کاملPositional and neighboring base pair effects on the thermodynamic stability of RNA single mismatches.
Many naturally occurring RNA structures contain single mismatches, many of which occur near the ends of helices. However, previous thermodynamic studies have focused their efforts on thermodynamically characterizing centrally placed single mismatches. Additionally, algorithms currently used to predict secondary structure from sequence are based on two assumptions for predicting the stability of...
متن کاملDeep RNA sequencing at single base-pair resolution reveals high complexity of the rice transcriptome.
Understanding the dynamics of eukaryotic transcriptome is essential for studying the complexity of transcriptional regulation and its impact on phenotype. However, comprehensive studies of transcriptomes at single base resolution are rare, even for modern organisms, and lacking for rice. Here, we present the first transcriptome atlas for eight organs of cultivated rice. Using high-throughput pa...
