Abstract excerpt
Four 1.5 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed on the d(GCTATAAAAGGG).d(CCCTTTTATAGC) double helix dodecamer bearing the Adenovirus major late promoter TATA element and three iso-composition mutants for which physical and biochemical data are available from the same laboratory. Three of these DNA sequences experimentally induce tight binding with the TATA box binding protein (TBP) and induce high...
