DNA-histones, a computer model

C Portelli

    Acta Biotheoretica
    |January 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study proposes a model where DNA-histone interactions use electronic excitation, transmitted via hydrogen bonds and nucleotide bases, to regulate gene expression and mRNA synthesis.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Biophysics

    Background:

    • The DNA-histone complex plays a crucial role in gene regulation.
    • Understanding the biophysical mechanisms of DNA-histone interactions is essential for deciphering gene expression control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel model of DNA-histone interactions.
    • To elucidate the role of electronic excitation in gene regulation.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical modeling of DNA-histone interactions.
    • Analysis of hydrogen bonds and nucleotide base interactions.
    • Exploration of electronic wave transmission and electromagnetic coupling.

    Main Results:

    • Hydrogen bonds between nucleotide bases act as informational gates for proton exchange and electronic excitation transmission.
    • Amino acid coding by DNA triplets involves informational gates facilitating electronic wave circulation.
    • Enzymatic activity, triggered by signal molecules and ATP hydrolysis, initiates electronic excitation in DNA-histones, signaling mRNA synthesis.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed model highlights electronic excitation as a key mechanism in DNA-histone function.
    • This mechanism explains how external signals can initiate gene expression pathways.
    • The findings offer new insights into the biophysics of genetic information processing.
