Double Helix Structure

Light scattering measurements performed on DNA after irradiation in the presence of psoralen clearly show that inter strand cross linkings are present in the macromolecule. In fact after heat denaturation and successive cooling irradiated macromolecule shows a molecular weight practically unchanged while a DNA sample after the same treatment shows a molecular weight half of the intact native DNA. Also the general conformation of irradiated DNA undergoes practically to no modifications after the same heat treatment while native DNA shows itself to have been strongly modified. Moreover, on the basis of flow dichroism determinations, DNA cross-linked by psoralen after heat denaturation showed to be able to restore its ordered double helix structure, during the successive cooling.

ABSTRACTRibose containing double-stranded nucleic acids exhibit helical structure, whereas sugar modified (xeno) nucleic acids may exhibit different structural features. The structural landscape of four stereo variants of furanosal nucleic acids and their C2′ deoxy counterparts, explored with molecular dynamics simulations, suggest that the configuration at the C3′ position plays a pivotal role in determining the helicity. The C3′ stereocentre acts as toggle-switch for the helix to ladder structural transformation by changing the nature of intra-strand interactions resulting in the optimal helices for ribose containing double-stranded nucleic acids. Interestingly, lack of chirality at the C2′ position results in better quality helices than inversion of stereochemistry relative to ribose. The etiology of furanosal-RNA over other furanoses can be hypothesized based on the helical structure, which can effectively be exploited by the biological machinery.SIGNIFICANCEThe double helix structure of furanosal RNA is governed by the configuration at the C3′ position. Furanose sugars such as xylose and lyxose where in the configuration at the C3′ position is inverted relative to the ribose do not form double helix structure, instead result in ladder-like structure. The configuration at the C3′ position acts as a toggle switch for the helix to ladder structural transition. Among four furanose sugars viz., ribose, arabinose, xylose, and lyxose, the double-stranded nucleic acids incorporating ribose form helices with best aspect ratio between major and minor grooves.

Recycling Amplification

A C-Ag+-C structure-based fluorescence biosensor with novel combination design of exonuclease III (Exo III) dual-recycling amplification is proposed for the application of silver ions (Ag+) detection. Since oligo-1 involves C-C mismatches, the presence of Ag+ can be captured to form C-Ag+-C base pairs, which results in a double-helix structure with a blunt terminus. The double-helix structure can be cleaved by EXO III to release short mononucleotide fragments (trigger DNA) and Ag+. Released Ag+ can form new bindings with oligo-1, and other trigger DNA can be produced in the digestion cycles. Hybridization with the signal DNA (oligo-2) transforms a trigger DNA into double-stranded DNA with blunt terminus which can be cleaved by Exo III to reproduce the trigger DNA and form guanine- (G-) quadruplex DNA. The trigger DNA returns free to the solution and hybridizes with another signal DNA, which realizes the dual-recycling amplification. The G-quadruplex DNA can be reported by N-methylmesoporphyrin IX (NMM), a specific G-quadruplex DNA fluorochrome. This method allows Ag+ to be determined in the 5 to 1500 pmol/L concentration range, with a 2 pmol/L detection limit, and it has been successfully applied to the detection of Ag+ in real samples.
