Landscapes of DNA Mechanics and Genomes
The local physical properties - such as shape and flexibility - of the DNA double-helix is today widely believed to be influenced by nucleic acid sequence in a non-trivial way. Furthermore, there is strong evidence that these properties play a role in many ...
EPFL2023Electronic and structural dynamics in DNA single strands
The absorption, conversion and transport of electronic energy in molecular aggregates is at the heart of many important natural and artificial photochemical systems, including organic solar cell materials, photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes and DNA ...
EPFL2021Requirements for DNA bubble structure for efficient cleavage by helix-two-turn-helix DNA glycosylases
Oxidative DNA lesions, constantly generated by both endogenous and environmentally induced reactive oxygen species, are removed via the base excision repair pathway. In bacteria, Fpg and Nei DNA glycosylases, belonging to the helix-two-turn-helix (H2TH) st ...
2020Exploiting Dispersion-driven Aggregators as a Route to New One-dimensional Organic Nanowires
Riccardo Petraglia, Adrien Georges Nicolai, Hongguang Liu
The efficiency of charge carrier mobility in organic semiconductors is heavily dependent upon the long-range organization (i.e., morphology) and the local relative arrangement of the transporting molecules. Here, we exploit London dispersion forces as a de ...
Amer Chemical Soc2015Relocalization of telomeric Ku and SIR proteins in response to DNA strand breaks in yeast
Telomeric TG-rich repeats and their associated proteins protect the termini of eukaryotic chromosomes from end-to-end fusions. Associated with the cap structure at yeast telomeres is a subtelomeric domain of heterochromatin, containing the silent informati ...
