Abstract

The influence of ligands, which undergo conformational transition, on DNA molecular melting is considered theoretically. Equations for computation of melting curves of DNA included in such complexes are obtained, which are used for studies of DNA double helix stability and of the binding to helical and coil regions influence on ligand conformational transitions. Calculated melting curves and experimental data for DNA-RNAase complex are compared.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
