DNATCO: assignment of DNA conformers at dnatco.org
نویسندگان
چکیده
The web service DNATCO (dnatco.org) classifies local conformations of DNA molecules beyond their traditional sorting to A, B and Z DNA forms. DNATCO provides an interface to robust algorithms assigning conformation classes called NTC: to dinucleotides extracted from DNA-containing structures uploaded in PDB format version 3.1 or above. The assigned dinucleotide NTC: classes are further grouped into DNA structural alphabet NTA: , to the best of our knowledge the first DNA structural alphabet. The results are presented at two levels: in the form of user friendly visualization and analysis of the assignment, and in the form of a downloadable, more detailed table for further analysis offline. The website is free and open to all users and there is no login requirement.

A DNA structural alphabet provides new insight into DNA flexibility
DNA is a structurally plastic molecule, and its biological function is enabled by adaptation to its binding partners. To identify the DNA structural polymorphisms that are possible in such adaptations, the dinucleotide structures of 60 000 DNA steps from sequentially nonredundant crystal structures were classified and an automated protocol assigning 44 distinct structural (conformational) class...
متن کاملStructural Investigation, Proton and Electron Affinities, Gas Phase Basicities, and Ionization Energies of Captopril
Captopril is one of the most significant angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. In spite of numerous experimental and computational studies on its properties, not enough geometrical and thermodynamic data is available on this compound. So, this study aimed to investigate the structural properties and assignment of possible conformers of captopril in the gas-phase. To this end, 1152 unique tr...
متن کاملParallelizing Assignment Problem with DNA Strands
Background:Many problems of combinatorial optimization, which are solvable only in exponential time, are known to be Non-Deterministic Polynomial hard (NP-hard). With the advent of parallel machines, new opportunities have been emerged to develop the effective solutions for NP-hard problems. However, solving these problems in polynomial time needs massive parallel machines and ...
متن کاملConformational analysis of N- and C-terminally protected tripeptide model glycyl-isoleucine-glycyl: An ab initio and DFT study
An ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) study about conformational analysis of tripeptide model HCO−GLY−L−ILE−GLY−NH2 is presented. The tripeptide was scanned about initial, central, and final residues, separately while for every scanning procedure the two other residues had been kept in the β conformation and side chain (SC) dihedral angles were maintained on the gauche− (g‾) state (χ...
متن کاملA Computational Study on the Stability of Dapdiamide D Conformers
The conformational analysis of the organic compounds specially the biologically active natural products has attracted the consideration of different research groups. Therefore, in the present study the MP2/6-311+g(d,p)//B3LYP/6-311+g(d,p) level of theory was used to study the conformations of dapdiamide D. The identity of interactions in selected conformers was studied using atom in molecule ap...
