Title: Nucleic acid base pair dynamics: the impact of sequence and structure using free-energy calculations. Author: Giudice E, Lavery R. Journal: J Am Chem Soc; 2003 Apr 30; 125(17):4998-9. PubMed ID: 12708848. Abstract: Molecular dynamics free-energy calculations of base pair opening within double helical DNA and RNA are used to explain why A-tracts (oligo-adenine repeats) greatly increase the lifetimes of AT base pairs, whereas the structural and the chemical changes involved in passing from B-DNA to A-RNA have comparatively small effects.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
