Duplex strand formation using alternating copolymers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The regular arrangement of complementary diaminopyridine-thymine (DAP-THY) on alternating copolymers permits cooperative binding events and the effective formation of well-controlled micrometre-scale aggregates.

Activation of DNA strand exchange by cationic comb-type copolymers: effect of cationic moieties of the copolymers
We have previously reported that poly(l-lysine)-graft-dextran cationic comb-type copolymers accelerate strand exchange reaction between duplex DNA and its complementary single strand by >4 orders of magnitude, while stabilizing duplex. However, the stabilization of the duplex is considered principally unfavourable for the accelerating activity since the strand exchange reaction requires, at lea...
متن کاملSolution structure of a dsDNA:LNA triplex.
We have determined the NMR structure of an intramolecular dsDNA:LNA triplex, where the LNA strand is composed of alternating LNA and DNA nucleotides. The LNA oligonucleotide binds to the dsDNA duplex in the major groove by formation of Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds to the purine strand of the duplex. The structure of the dsDNA duplex is changed to accommodate the LNA strand, and it adopts a geometry...
متن کاملSynthesis of Cis,syndiotactic A-alt-B Copolymers from Two Enantiomerically Pure Trans-2,3-Disubstituted-5,6-Norbornenes
Cis,syndiotacticA-alt-B copolymers, where A and B are two enantiomerically pure trans-2,3-disubstituted-5,6-norbornenes with "opposite" chiralities, can be prepared with stereogenic-at-metal initiators of the type M(NR)(CHR')(OR")(pyrrolide). Formation of a high percentage of alternating AB copolymer linkages relies on an inversion of chirality at the metal with each propagating step and a rela...
متن کاملThe crystal structure of an alternating RNA heptamer r(GUAUACA) forming a six base-paired duplex with 3'-end adenine overhangs.
The crystal structure of an alternating RNA heptamer r(GUAUACA) has been determined to 2.0 A resolution and refined to an R(work) of 17.1% and R(free) of 18.5% using 2797 reflections. The heptamer crystallized in the space group C222 with a unit cell of a = 25.74, b = 106.58, c = 30.26 A and two independent strands in the asymmetric unit. Each heptamer forms a duplex with its symmetry-related s...
متن کاملDNA Synthesis on a Double-stranded DNA Template by the T4 Bacteriophage DNA Polymerase and the T4 Gene 32 DNA Unwinding Protein
T4 DNA polymerase cannot use a nicked duplex DNA molecule as a template-primer for DNA synthesis, apparently because it is unable to displace the 5’ end of the strand paired to the strand serving as the template. Addition of the T4 phage gene 32 DNA unwinding protein (32-protein) facilities strand displacement and allows the T4 DNA polymerase to synthesize DNA using nicked duplex T7 DNA as the ...
