Understanding the effect of the nature of the nucleobase in the loops on the stability of the i-motif structure.

چکیده
The nature and the length of loops connecting cytosine tracts in i-motif structures may affect their stability. In this work, the influence of the nature of the nucleobases located in two of the loops of an intramolecular i-motif is studied using spectroscopy, separation techniques, and multivariate data analysis. The insertion of bases other than thymine induces an additional acid-base equilibrium with pKa ∼ 4.5. The presence of two guanine bases in the loops, placed opposite to each other, decreases the thermal stability of the structure. In contrast, thymine and cytosine bases in these positions stabilize the structure.

For better understanding of conformational stability of the dipeptide model HCO—Gly—L—Leu—NH2,ab initio and DFT computations at HF/6-31G(4 6-311++G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-31G(d) levels oftheory were carried out. Geometry optimization of the dipeptide within the leucine (Leu) side chainangles (x2 ,x2) resulted in three stable conformations as followings: anti-anti, the most stable one,(Xi = 180°, x2 =...

Trypsin (E.C.3.4.21.4) is a serine protease commonly used in proteomics for digestion of proteins. In the present study, the effect of nano-TiO2 on the conformation and catalytic activity of trypsin were studied. The thermal denaturation of trypsin has been investigated in the presence and absence of nano-TiO2 over the temperature range (293-373 K) at pH 3.0 and 7.25, using temperature scanning...
