Thermodynamics of Oligoarginines Binding to RNA and DNA†
1997
Biochemistry
We have examined the equilibrium binding of a series of synthetic oligoarginines (net charge z ) +2 to +6) containing tryptophan to poly(U), poly(A), poly(C), poly(I), and double-stranded (ds) DNA. ...
The origin of this difference is entirely enthalpic, with ∆H obs , determined from van't Hoff analysis, being more exothermic for oligoarginine binding. ...
Nearly all thermodynamic studies of charged peptides binding to DNA and RNA have used oligolysines, yet many proteins also contain arginine in their nucleic acid binding sites. ...

Linkage between proton binding and folding in RNA: A thermodynamic framework and its experimental application for investigating pKa shifting
2005
RNA: A publication of the RNA Society
The formalism developed here is similar to that of Draper and coworkers for Mg 2+ binding to RNA, except that the unfolded state is described explicitly owing to the presence of specific proton-binding ...
Key features that emerge from the treatment are a comprehensive description of all the actions of proton binding on RNA folding: acid and alkaline denaturation of the helix and pK a shifting in the folded ...
Herein we establish a thermodynamic framework for proton binding to RNA and DNA that involves linkage to folding. ...

Uncovering the Thermodynamics of Monomer Binding for RNA Replication
2015
Journal of the American Chemical Society
We also find that the binding of rGMP is only about 2-fold weaker than the binding of rAMP to 5′-U, consistent with the poor fidelity observed in the nonenzymatic copying of U residues in RNA templates ...
We have now used 1 H NMR spectroscopy to directly measure the thermodynamic association constants, K a s, of the standard ribonucleotide monophosphates (rNMPs) to native RNA primer−template complexes. ...

Therefore, we utilized microcalorimetry and semi-empirical analyses to comparatively analyze the cognate ssRNA binding thermodynamics of four different RRM domains, each with a different RNA binding mode ...
Structural mechanisms of sequence-specific recognition of single-stranded RNAs (ssRNAs) by RRMs are well understood. The thermodynamic strategies are however unclear. ...

Thermodynamic and Kinetic Measurements of Promoter Binding by T7 RNA Polymerase†
1996
Biochemistry
Previous steady state kinetic studies of the initiation of transcription by T7 RNA polymerase have shown that melting of the DNA helix near the transcription start site is not rate limiting [Maslak, M. ...
Equilibrium titrations at 25 °C with label at position -2 provide a thermodynamic measure of the dissociation constant (K d ) 4.8 nM) for promoter binding, while stopped-flow kinetic assays measure the ...

Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Adaptive Binding in the Malachite Green RNA Aptamer
2013
Biochemistry
Adaptive binding, the ability of molecules to fold themselves around the structure of a ligand and thereby incorporating it into their three-dimensional fold, is a key feature of most RNA aptamers. ...
Competitive binding studies using isothermal titration calorimetry and stopped flow kinetics have been conducted with the aim of understanding the adaptive nature of RNA-ligand interaction. ...
Using this alternate model allows for direct comparison of the thermodynamic values to the results of binding to free RNA which were determined with the same model. ...

Biochemistry
As a step toward understanding the mechanism of action of this class of enzymes, a minimal kinetic and thermodynamic framework for the RNA-activated ATPase function has been established for eIF4A. ...

A thermodynamic framework for Mg2+ binding to RNA
2001
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
In this model, RNA stabilization arises from two energetically distinct modes of Mg 2؉ binding: diffuse-and site-binding. ...
In contrast, the contribution of site-binding to RNA stability is often quite small because of the large desolvation penalty. ...
The purpose of this work is to present a proper thermodynamic model describing how these different classes of ions together bind and stabilize specific RNA structures. ...
