Structure and Dynamics of DNA and RNA Double Helices of CAG and GAC Trinucleotide Repeats

BIOPHYSICAL JOURNAL, 113(1), 19–36.

By: F. Pan n, V. Man n, C. Roland n & C. Sagui n

MeSH headings : Cations / chemistry; DNA / chemistry; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Molecular Dynamics Simulation; Nucleic Acid Conformation; Principal Component Analysis; RNA / chemistry; Sodium / chemistry; Trinucleotide Repeats
TL;DR: Free energy and molecular dynamics studies are carried out to determine the preferred conformations of the A-A noncanonical pairs in (CAG)n and (GAC)n trinucleotide repeats and the consequent changes in the overall structure of the RNA and DNA duplexes, finding that the global free energy minimum corresponds to A- A pairs stacked inside the core of the helix with anti-anti conformations in RNA and (high-anti)-( high-anti) (via Semantic Scholar)
