TLDR
The structure of six different tRNA molecules has been analyzed in solution by electrooptical measurements and by bead model simulations and these measurements indicate that the structure of some other tRNA's in solution is different, even in cases with the same number of nucleotide residues.

tRNA structure and aminoacylation efficiency.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of tRNA structure in the recognition process with synthetases and on the implications for aminoacylation efficiency is discussed, and a comparison of recent results with previous observations is made.

HullRad: Fast Calculations of Folded and Disordered Protein and Nucleic Acid Hydrodynamic Properties.

TL;DR: This method uses a convex hull model to estimate the hydrodynamic volume of the molecule and is orders of magnitude faster than common methods and works well for both folded proteins and ensembles of conformationally heterogeneous proteins and for nucleic acids.

Calculation of hydrodynamic properties of small nucleic acids from their atomic structure.

TL;DR: If the hydrodynamic model for the short DNA is simply a cylindrical rod, the predictions for overall translation and rotation are slightly worse, but the NMR correlation times and the degree of hydration, which depend more on the cross-sectional structure, are more severely affected.

Computation of the dipole moments of proteins

TL;DR: The method is intended to provide data that may be compared to the results of transient electric dichroism experiments on protein solutions to give hydrodynamic and electrical parameters for proteins in good agreement with experimental data.

Hydrodynamic properties of a double-helical model for DNA.

TL;DR: The translational and rotational diffusion coefficients of very short DNA fragments have been calculated using a double-helical bead model in which each nucleotide is represented by one bead, indicating that the internal motion of the bases has a remarkable amplitude.

Threshold effects observed in conformation changes induced by electric fields.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was demonstrated that the single-strand helix-coil transition in poly(A, poly(dA), and poly(C) can be induced by application of high electric fields.
