Spin effects govern DNA/RNA nucleotide polymerization
A new radical mechanism of nucleotide polymerization is found. The finding is based on the Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics computations at 310 K with an additional spin-spin coupling term for 31P and 1H atoms and a radical pair spin term included. The mechanism is initiated by a creation of a high-energy spin-separated Mg-ATP complex in a triplet state in which the Mg prefers an uncommon chel...
متن کاملConsensus Folding of Unaligned RNA Sequences Revisited
As one of the earliest problems in computational biology, RNA secondary structure prediction (sometimes referred to as "RNA folding") problem has attracted attention again, thanks to the recent discoveries of many novel non-coding RNA molecules. The two common approaches to this problem are de novo prediction of RNA secondary structure based on energy minimization and the consensus folding appr...
متن کاملEnergy directed folding of RNA sequences
A modification of Nussinov's algorithm (1) for (planar) secondary structure generation is described. Our algorithm postpones decisions on matches involving destabiling loops until they prove to be energetically more favourable than more local matches. We present, moreover, an alternative way of representing secondary structures which avoids unwarranted suggestions on higher order neighbourhood,...
متن کاملNucleotide sequences of human globin messenger RNA.
Globin messenger RNA, isolated from human peripheral blood reticulocytes, was transcribed into complementary DNA by use of the RNA-dependent DNA polymerase of avian myeloblastosis virus. The complementary DNA was then transcribed into (32)P-labeled complementary RNA by E. coli RNA polymerase in the presence of alpha-(32)P-labeled ribonucleoside triphosphates. The fingerprint pattern obtained fr...
متن کاملPost-transcriptional nucleotide modification and alternative folding of RNA
Alternative foldings are an inherent property of RNA and a ubiquitous problem in scientific investigations. To a living organism, alternative foldings can be a blessing or a problem, and so nature has found both, ways to harness this property and ways to avoid the drawbacks. A simple and effective method employed by nature to avoid unwanted folding is the modulation of conformation space throug...
