Microcomputer programs for graphic analysis of nucleic acid and protein sequences
Four computer programs are described which allow two amino acid or DNA sequences to be compared for homology, the results being displayed in a 2-dimensional array on a printer page. The programs also may be used to visualize repeated sequences or dyad symmetry within a DNA sequence. Two of the four programs may be used with any printer, the other two require a printer with graphics capability. ...
متن کاملDuplex Structure of a Minimal Nucleic Acid
The crystal structure of an 8-mer (S)-GNA duplex is presented. As a tool for phasing, the anomalous diffraction of two copper(II) ions within two artificial metallo-base pairs was employed. The duplex structure confirms a canonical Watson-Crick base pairing scheme of GNA with antiparallel strands. The duplex secondary structure is distinct from canonical A- and B-form nucleic acids and can be d...
متن کاملA structure for deoxyribose nucleic acid.
A structure for nucleic acid has already been proposed by Pauling and Corey (1). They kindly made their manuscript available to us in advance of publication. Their model consists of three intertwined chains, with the phosphates near the fibre axis, and the bases on the outside. In our opinion, this structure is unsatisfactory for two reasons: (1) We believe that the material which gives the X-r...
متن کاملAn interactive technique for the display of nucleic acid secondary structure.
The ability to visualize nucleic acid secondary structure has become quite important since the advent of computer prediction and biochemical techniques that depict such structures. Manually drawing the conformations can be quite time consuming and tedious. Thus, the ability to draw with the aid of a computer the secondary structure of nucleic acid molecules is quite advantageous. This paper des...
متن کاملDetermination of the backbone structure of nucleic acids and nucleic acid oligomers by laser Raman scattering.
Raman spectra of fibers of DNA that have been prepared in the A, B, and C forms are presented and compared with Raman spectra of DNA and RNA in dilute solution. It is shown that the phosphate vibrations in the region 750-850 cm(-1) are very sensitive to the specific conformation of the phosphate group in the backbone chain and are virtually independent of all ohter factors. Thus, a very simple ...
