Loop环对分子内三螺旋DNA稳定性的影响

用分子力学方法研究了 4个分子内三螺旋DNA ( 5′ d(TC) 6 d(T) m d(CT) 6 d(C) n d(AG) 6,m ,n分别为 4,3)的稳定性 ,并与相应的分子间三螺旋d(TC) 6 d(AG) 6·d(CT) 6进行了比较 .结果表明 :Loop环对分子内三螺旋的稳定性影响较小 ,但是Loop上碱基和糖环构象的变化依赖于Loop环的长度 .Loop使分子内三螺旋DNA嘌呤链的碱基堆积作用降低 ,链长增加 .三螺旋DNA的糖环构象大部分是S型 ,同时也存在N型以及其他构象 .     

Reply to Comment on ＂Mechanism for Alternating Electric Fields Induced-Effects on Cytosolic Calcium＂

Our article （Chin. Phys. Lett. 26 （2009） 017102） was attempting to calculate the possible existence of the window effects on the physiological signal changes by the external electric field. It is attempted mainly to combine the vibrated-ion model of Panagopoulos et al.（Refs. in our article） and the cellular model of Kuster et al. （Ref. in our article） and Tortes et al. （Ref. in our article）. We did not attempt to take the initiative of theoretical bases of both the groups.     

臭氧对胎牛血清氧化损伤的表面增强拉曼光谱

对实验室细胞培养用的国产胎牛血清在臭氧作用前后进行了表面增强拉曼光谱测试,范围200～1 800 cm-1.发现臭氧作用1 h后拉曼谱线强度大大减弱,作用3 h后谱线强度进一步减弱,但减弱的程度明显减慢,说明臭氧氧化作用具有快速的特点.臭氧作用下蛋白质主链的有序构象(α-螺旋,β折叠)明显减少,对β折叠的损伤更为严重,β回折几乎消失.芳香族氨基酸和半胱氨酸侧链在臭氧作用下氧化损伤非常明显.这些特征谱线的变化,反映了臭氧的氧化作用使蛋白质变性,构象变化以及降解.     

Effect of loop on the stability of intramolecular triplex DNA

Conformation stabilities of intramolecular triple-helical DNAs (intra-tnplex DNAs: 5-d(TC)6-d(T)m-d(CT)6-d(C)n-d(AG)6-3',where m and n are chosen to be 4 and 3) have been examined by molecular mechanics.The four intra-triplexes (H-DNAs) are compared with the mtermolecular triplexes d(TC)6 * d ( AG)6 d(CT)6.The results revealed that loops do not significantly influence the mtratriplex conformations,loop conformations,however,depend partly on its length.Loop also makes strand Ⅱ of every intra-triplex DNA longer than that of the inter-triplex DNA.Most of residue sugar conformations of triple-helical DNAs are S-type,there aiso exist,however,N-type conformation and the conformations between S-type and N-type Possible models of the five triplex DNAs are presented.
