Photochemistry of highly organized biomolecules: Sequence-select
نویسنده
چکیده
described. One example includes a specific photocleavage of DNA duplex at 5' side of 5'-GG-3' sequence by a "photo-Fenton reagent", whereas the other is the sequenceselective photoreaction of S-AB'Usite of DNA duplex which results in formation of a 2-deoxyribonolactone residue with release of free adenine via selective hydrogen abstraction from C2' of deoxyribose residue. Two types of highly sequence-selective photoreactions of DNA are

Recent advances in experimental techniques to probe fast excited-state dynamics in biological molecules in the gas phase: dynamics in nucleotides, amino acids and beyond
In many chemical reactions, an activation barrier must be overcome before a chemical transformation can occur. As such, understanding the behaviour of molecules in energetically excited states is critical to understanding the chemical changes that these molecules undergo. Among the most prominent reactions for mankind to understand are chemical changes that occur in our own biological molecules...
متن کاملThe PSIPRED protein structure prediction server
SUMMARY The PSIPRED protein structure prediction server allows users to submit a protein sequence, perform a prediction of their choice and receive the results of the prediction both textually via e-mail and graphically via the web. The user may select one of three prediction methods to apply to their sequence: PSIPRED, a highly accurate secondary structure prediction method; MEMSAT 2, a new ve...
متن کاملMeasurement of Biomolecular Diffusion in Extracellular Matrix Condensed by Fibroblasts Using Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy
The extracellular matrix (ECM) comprises the heterogeneous environment outside of cells in a biological system. The ECM is dynamically organized and regulated, and many biomolecules secreted from cells diffuse throughout the ECM, regulating a variety of cellular processes. Therefore, investigation of the diffusive behaviors of biomolecules in the extracellular environment is critical. In this s...
متن کاملType I and Type II Photosensitized Oxidation Reactions: Guidelines and Mechanistic Pathways.
Here, 10 guidelines are presented for a standardized definition of type I and type II photosensitized oxidation reactions. Because of varied notions of reactions mediated by photosensitizers, a checklist of recommendations is provided for their definitions. Type I and type II photoreactions are oxygen-dependent and involve unstable species such as the initial formation of radical cation or neut...
متن کاملNon-natural G-quadruplex in a non-natural environment.
The biocompatibility as well as the sustainability of a deep eutectic solvent makes it a good substitute for aqueous media in studying biomolecules. Understanding the structure and stability of natural and non-natural G-quadruplexes in aqueous and highly viscous media will be useful in biological and nanodevice applications. We report the synthesis and conformational analysis of a model G-rich ...
