Thermodynamic Stability of RNA Structures Formed by CNG Trinucleotide Repeats. Implication for Prediction of RNA Structure
22 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Trinucleotide repeat expansion diseases (TREDs) are correlated with elongation of CNG DNA and RNA repeats to pathological level. This paper shows, for the first time, complete data concerning thermodynamic stabilities of RNA with CNG trinucleotide repeats. Our studies include the stability of oligoribonucleotides composed of two to seven of CAG, CCG, CGG, and CUG repeats. The thermodynamic parameters of helix...
