T. Kulinski et al., INTRODUCTORY DATA ON DYNAMICS OF RNA BULGE DUPLEXES - 2-AMINOPURINE LABELED ADENOSINE LOOPS, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 61, 1996, pp. 265-267
Dynamics of RNA bulge loop duplexes 1-3 composed of GUCG(A(n))GCUG + C
AGCCGAC (n = 1-3), has been studied using fluorescent 2-aminopurine as
non-invasive conformational probe placed in the loop region. Results
obtained both from time-resolved spectrofluorimetry measurements and i
n vacuo simulation of molecular dynamics clearly reflected predominant
''looped out'' conformation for those RNA domains.
