DNA base-pair flipping with fluorescent perylenediimide pincers.
The synthesis, structure, and electronic spectra of a series of DNA hairpins possessing two perylenediimide (PDI) base pair surrogates are reported. The PDI chromophores are located in opposite strands of the hairpin base pair domain opposite abasic sites and are either adjacent to each other or separated by a variable number of AT or GC base pairs. Molecular modeling of the conjugate having ad...
متن کاملDNA base flipping by a base pair-mimic nucleoside
On the basis of non-covalent bond interactions in nucleic acids, we synthesized the deoxyadenosine derivatives tethering a phenyl group (X) and a naphthyl group (Z) by an amide linker, which mimic a Watson-Crick base pair. Circular dichroism spectra indicated that the duplexes containing X and Z formed a similar conformation regardless of the opposite nucleotide species (A, G, C, T and an abasi...
متن کاملDNA deformability at the base pair level.
A complete set of harmonic force constants describing the DNA deformation energetics at the base pair level was obtained using unrestrained atomic-resolution molecular dynamics simulations of selected duplex oligonucleotides and subsequent analysis of structural fluctuations from the simulated trajectories. The deformation was described by the six base pair conformational parameters (buckle, pr...
متن کاملSimultaneous DNA Binding, Bending, and Base Flipping
We measured the kinetics of DNA bending by M.EcoRI using DNA labeled at both 5 -ends and observed changes in fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Although known to bend its cognate DNA site, energy transfer is decreased upon enzyme binding. This unanticipated effect is shown to be robust because we observe the identical decrease with different dye pairs, when the dye pairs are placed on the ...
متن کاملSelective base excision repair of DNA damage by the non-base-flipping DNA glycosylase AlkC.
DNA glycosylases preserve genome integrity and define the specificity of the base excision repair pathway for discreet, detrimental modifications, and thus, the mechanisms by which glycosylases locate DNA damage are of particular interest. Bacterial AlkC and AlkD are specific for cationic alkylated nucleobases and have a distinctive HEAT-like repeat (HLR) fold. AlkD uses a unique non-base-flipp...
