We review molecular dynamics simulations of nucleic acids, including those completed from
1995 to 2000, with a focus on the applications and results rather than the methods. After the …

Short runs of adenines are a ubiquitous DNA element in regulatory regions of many
organisms. When runs of 4–6 adenine base pairs ('A-tracts') are repeated with the helical …

Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) have generated tremendous interest as nonvolatile
media that provide favorable environments for a wide range of chemical reactions.[1] A …

The 1 Å resolution X-ray crystal structures of Mg2+ and Ca2+ salts of the B-DNA decamers
CCAACGTTGG and CCAGCGCTGG reveal sequence-specific binding of Mg2+ and Ca2+ to …

The crystal structure of a Flp recombinase tetramer bound to a Holliday junction intermediate
has been determined at 2.65 Å resolution. Only one of Flp's two domains, containing the …

Monovalent cation binding sites on nucleic acids in solution can be localized using the
isotopically labeled ammonium ion (15NH4+) as a probe in high resolution NMR …

The solution structure of d (CGCGAATTCGCG) 2 has been determined on the basis of an
exceptionally large set of residual dipolar couplings. In addition to the heteronuclear 13 C-1 …

The solution structure of a DNA dodecamer d (GGCAAAAAACGG)/d (CCGTTTTTTGCC)
containing an A-tract has been determined by NMR spectroscopy with residual dipolar …

To gain insight into the structural basis of DNA bending by adenine–thymine tracts (A-tracts)
and their role in DNA recognition by gene-regulatory proteins, we have determined the …

Charge transfer in DNA has received much attention in the last few years due to its role in
oxidative damage and repair in DNA and also due to possible applications of DNA in …
