Resumen
El grupo ARN 2'-hidroxilo ralentiza el plegamiento del ARN tetraloop al crear más estados mal plegados en comparación con el ADN. Esto pone de relieve el impacto cinético del 2'-OH en la dinámica de plegamiento del ARN.

- Biología computacional Biología computacional.
Sus antecedentes:
- El grupo ribosa 2 -hidroxilo (2 -OH) diferencia el ARN del ADN.
- Su función exacta en la dinámica de plegamiento del tetraloop de ARN no se comprende completamente.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar los procesos de plegado del ARN UUCG y el ADN dUdUdCdG tetraloop.

Hydrogen Bonds
134.5K
Hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between atoms that have formed other chemical bonds. One of these atoms is electronegative, like oxygen, and has a partial negative charge. The other is a hydrogen atom that has bonded with another electronegative atom and has a partial positive charge.
Hydrogen Bonds Control the World!
Because hydrogen has very weak electronegativity when it binds with a strongly electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen, electrons in the bond are unequally shared....

Hydrogen Bonds
15.1K
A hydrogen bond is formed when a weakly positive hydrogen atom already bonded to one electronegative atom (for example, the oxygen in the water molecule) is attracted to another electronegative atom from another polar molecule, such as water (H2O), hydrogen fluoride (HF), or ammonia (NH3). The huge electronegativity difference between the H atom (2.1) and the atom to which it is bonded (4.0 for an F atom, 3.5 for an O atom, or 3.0 for an N atom), combined with the very small size of an H atom...

IR Spectrum Peak Broadening: Hydrogen Bonding
1.9K
The vibrational frequency of a bond is directly proportional to its bond strength. As a result, stronger bonds vibrate at higher frequencies, while weaker bonds vibrate at lower frequencies. The stretching vibration of the strong O–H bond in alcohols and phenols (very dilute solution or gas phase) appears as a sharp peak at 3600–3650 cm−1.
However, the extent of hydrogen bonding influences the observed stretching frequency and band broadening. Intermolecular or intramolecular...

From DNA to Protein
22.6K
The flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to mRNA to protein is described by the central dogma, which states that genes specify the sequence of mRNAs, which in turn specify the sequence of amino acids making up all proteins. The decoding of one molecule to another is performed by specific proteins and RNAs. Because the information stored in DNA is so central to cellular function, it makes intuitive sense that the cell would make mRNA copies of this information for protein synthesis...
