cgNA+: A sequence-dependent coarse-grain model of double-stranded nucleic acids

DNA mechanics plays a crucial role in many biological processes, including nucleosome positioning and protein-DNA interactions. It is believed that nature employs epigenetic modifications in DNA to further regulate gene expression. Moreover, double-strande ...

Equilibrium and non-equilibrium furanose selection in the ribose isomerisation network

Paolo De Los Rios, Daniel Maria Busiello, Shiling Liang, Francesco Piazza

The exclusive presence of beta -D-ribofuranose in nucleic acids is still a conundrum in prebiotic chemistry, given that pyranose species are substantially more stable at equilibrium. However, a precise characterisation of the relative furanose/pyranose fra ...

Life cycle studies of the hexose transporter of Plasmodium species and genetic validation of their essentiality

Summary A Plasmodium falciparum hexose transporter (PfHT) has previously been shown to be a facilitative glucose and fructose transporter. Its expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes and the use of a glucose analogue inhibitor permitted chemical validation of ...

Synthesis of aza-C-disaccharides

Eliazar Rodriguez Garcia

Cell surface oligosaccharides control cell adhesion, fertilization, inflammation, the immune response and metastasis. Their biosynthesis implies sequences of reactions catalysed by glycosidases and glycosyltranferases. Inhibitors of these enzymes are there ...
