Spectroscopic evidence of Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes having amino acid based Schiff base: A special emphasis on in vitro antimicrobial, DNA binding and cleavage studies
A new Schiff base ligand (L) obtained by the condensation reaction of N-acetylaceto-otoluidineand 2-aminopropanoic acid (an amino acid), is used to synthesize four mononuclearcomplexes of [MLCl] and [ML2] types (where M = Cu(II) and Zn(II); L = Schiff base) bykeeping the metal and ligand ratio as 1:1 and 1:2 respectively. This ligand and its complexeshave been characterized on the basis of diff...
متن کاملEnergy-based prediction of amino acid-nucleotide base recognition
Despite decades of investigations, it is not yet clear whether there are rules dictating the specificity of the interaction between amino acids and nucleotide bases. This issue was addressed by determining, in a dataset consisting of 100 high-resolution protein-DNA structures, the frequency and energy of interaction between each amino acid and base, and the energetics of water-mediated interact...
متن کاملScoring Docked Protein Complexes with Hydrogen Bonds
Finding the structure of proteins and protein-protein complexes is an important problem in the field of computational biology. Determining protein structures can be done successfully with various experimental methods like x-ray crystallography, but determining protein-protein structures experimentally is more difficult. Instead, these structures are frequently predicted computationally. One app...
متن کاملStructural analysis of conserved base pairs in protein-DNA complexes.
Understanding of protein-DNA interactions is crucial for prediction of DNA-binding specificity of transcription factors and design of novel DNA-binding proteins. In this paper we develop a novel approach to analysis of protein-DNA interactions. We bring together two sources of information: (i) structures of protein-DNA complexes (PDB/NDB database) and (ii) experimentally obtained sites recogniz...
متن کاملDNA-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...
