- W2032904456 abstract "In this paper we present a theoretical treatment of triplex B type DNA hydration using normal mode calculation techniques. Discrete solvent is added as spines of hydration in the Watson-Crick and Crick-Hoogsteen grooves as well as water bridges between the Phosphate groups. The effect of binding the discrete structural waters on the normal mode of vibration of the system was studied by introducing a parameter, Xw, that is proportional to the degree of water binding and inversely proportional to the relative humidity (RH) of the system. We examined the variation of the dipole moments of characteristic modes with Xw. The results show that there is a direct relationship between the degree of binding of the water molecules to the atoms in the triple helix, the relative humidity of the system and the conformation and stability of the triple helix. At high RH and Xw = 0:0 the triple helix has mostly B type conformation characteristics, with C'2 -endo sugars. The emergence of normal modes of vibration characteristic to the A type conformation (C'3 - endo sugars) at Xw = 0:4 and 60% RH indicates a conformational shift towards A-type for some of the sugars between Xw = 0.2 (80% RH) and Xw = 0.4 (60% RH). These results are in agreement with the economy of hydration hypothesis of Saenger (Saenger et al., 1986) which maintains that the main difference in the hydration of A- and B- forms of DNA is the presence of water bridges between adjacent Phosphate groups in the low-hydration A-form but not in the B- form. Free energy calculations for the triplex DNA with structural waters show that there is a minimum of the free energy at Xw = 0.2 and the free energy increases with Xw and becomes larger than the free energy of the B conformation without structural waters for Xw equal to and larger than 0.4. This result indicates that the B conformation is more stable with bound structural water molecules (for degrees of water binding that are not over 20% higher than the degree of binding between bulk water molecules). The structural water molecules are bound much tighter in the A conformation than in the B conformation. The model predicts that the B to A transition occurs at higher relative humidities in D2O than in H2O. Part of these results (Dadarlat, 1997) have been subsequently confirmed by the experimental work and MD simulations of Ouali (Ouali et al., 1997). The experimental results showed that the N-type sugars corresponding to the A conformation are clearly detected below 75% RH." @default.
