Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular structure of a left-handed double helical DNA fragment at atomic resolution

TL;DR: The DNA fragment d(CpGpCpC pGp CpG pG) crystallises as a left-handed double helical molecule with Watson–Crick base pairs and an antiparallel organisation of the sugar phosphate chains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of cellulose synthesis in Acetobacter xylinum by cyclic diguanylic acid.

TL;DR: The cellulose synthase activator (CSA) has now been identified as bis-(3′ → 5′)-cyclic diguanylic acid (5′G3′p 5′G 3′p) on the basis of mass spectroscopic data, nuclear magnetic resonance analysis and comparison with chemically synthesized material.
Journal ArticleDOI

Major transcript of the frameshifted coxII gene from trypanosome mitochondria contains four nucleotides that are not encoded in the DNA.

TL;DR: It is concluded that four extra, reading frame-restoring nucleotides are added during or after transcription of the frameshift gene by an RNA-editing process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iodonium ion promoted reactions at the anomeric centre. II An efficient thioglycoside mediated approach toward the formation of 1,2-trans linked glycosides and glycosidic esters

TL;DR: NIS together with a catalytic amount of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid proved to be very convenient for the rapid, high-yielding and stereoselective (1,2-trans) glycosidation of esterified thioglycosides with glycosyl acceptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural comparison of anticancer drug-DNA complexes: adriamycin and daunomycin.

TL;DR: The observed changes in the overall structures of the ternary complexes amplify the small chemical differences between these two antibiotics and provide a possible explanation for the significantly different clinical activities of these important drugs.
