To investigate the principles driving recognition between proteins and DNA, we analyzed more than thousand crystal structures of protein/DNA complexes. We classified protein DNA conformations by structural alphabets, blocks [de Brevern, Etchebest Hazout (2000) (Bayesian probabilistic approach for predicting backbone in terms blocks. Prots. Struct. Funct. Genet., 41:271-287)] dinucleotide conformers [Svozil, Kalina, Omelka Schneider (2008) (DNA their sequence preferences. Nucleic Acids Res.,...
In the process of recodifying Czech company law, only an insufficient attention is being paid to larger European context. This circumstance might result in serious deficiencies final proposal new Commercial Act. As a future EU Member State, Republic cannot afford ignore sometimes radical corporate law reform undertaken both national jurisdictions other States, and EC itself. After break-through decisions ECJ Centros most recently Ueberseering Cases with instruments opening gates for...
The DNA sugar–phosphate backbone has a substantial influence on the structural dynamics. Structural biology and bioinformatics studies revealed that in experimental structures samples wide range of distinct conformational substates, known as rotameric families. Their correct description is essential for methods used to model nucleic acids be Achilles heel force field computations. In this study we report benchmark database MP2 calculations extrapolated complete basis set atomic orbitals with...
DNA is a structurally plastic molecule, and its biological function enabled by adaptation to binding partners. To identify the structural polymorphisms that are possible in such adaptations, dinucleotide structures of 60 000 steps from sequentially nonredundant crystal were classified an automated protocol assigning 44 distinct (conformational) classes called NtC (for Nucleotide Conformers) was developed. further facilitate understanding structure, assembled into alphabet CANA...
The recent discoveries of regulatory non-coding RNAs changed our view RNA as a simple information transfer molecule. Understanding the architecture and function active molecules requires methods for comparing analyzing their 3D structures. While structural alignment short is achievable in reasonable amount time, large structures represent much bigger challenge. Here, we present SETTER web server structure pairwise comparison utilizing (SEcondary sTructure-based TERtiary Structure Similarity...
Abstract Background A growing number of crystal and NMR structures reveals a considerable structural polymorphism DNA architecture going well beyond the usual image double helical molecule. is highly variable with dinucleotide steps exhibiting substantial flexibility in sequence-dependent manner. An analysis conformational space backbone enhancement our understanding dependencies are therefore important for full comprehension polymorphism. Results detailed classification local conformations...
We analyzed the structural behavior of DNA complexed with regulatory proteins and nucleosome core particle (NCP). The three-dimensional structures almost 25 thousand dinucleotide steps from more than 500 sequentially non-redundant crystal were classified by using alphabet CANA (Conformational Alphabet Nucleic Acids) associations between ten letters sixteen sequences investigated. showed features discriminating specific non-specific binding to proteins. Important is role two forms, A-DNA,...
Understanding the architecture and function of RNA molecules requires methods for comparing analyzing their tertiary quaternary structures. While structural superposition short RNAs is achievable in a reasonable time, large structures represent much bigger challenge. Therefore, we have developed fast accurate algorithm pairwise structure called SETTER implemented it web server. However, though biological relationships can be inferred by alignment, key features preserved evolution identified...
Neutrophil myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was analyzed by a semi-quantitative cytochemical method in 268 subjects divided into several groups. 17 with significantly reduced MPO were found: 11 of 23 the preleukemia group, 2/14 AMLs, 1/20 myeloproliferative syndrome, 1/7 carcinoma bone marrow metastases, 1/33 diabetes mellitus and 1/50 normals. Only comparison to normal group (p < 0.005). The high frequency acquired deficiency represents useful criterium for this diagnosis. Furthermore, these...

The automatic head position monitoring system is designed for patient after special ophthalmological operation called Vitrectomy. In the final phase of this a small amount vitreous replaced with bubble expansive gas or oil to push on recovering parts retina. Correct during recovery time therefore important. presented device provides periodical and logging posture head. warned by sound alarm when his incorrect. digital three-axis MEMS accelerometer has been used tilt sensing.
