The molecular chaperone Hsp70 folds a significant proportion of the proteome and is responsible for the activity and stability of many disease-related proteins, including those in cancer. Substantial effort has been devoted to developing a range o...
Nucleic acid biopolymers are essential to all living organisms. The chemical makeup of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) consist of sequences of only four monomers. However, they transmit and express genetic information for va...
A kissing loop (KL) is an RNA motif that among others may have a 180° geometry when derived from a viral genome. The KL interactions of this geometry consist of nine base pairs, six of which are interacting in complementary binding while three are...
Knowledge of protein-DNA interactions has important implications in understandingbiological activities and developing therapeutic drugs. Two types of protein-DNAinteractions exist: (1) interactions between double-stranded DNA-binding proteins(DSBs...
