β¦ Synopsis
Abstract
This survey covers the following topics: (1) Theoretical calculation of the total multitude of the energetically permitted regular DNA helices. (2) Theoretical study of flexibility of the double helix with emphasis on nucleosome structure. (3) Experimental data on the properties of the B to A transition of DNA in solution: the degree of cooperativity and influence of sequence. (4) The BβA transition and its possible role in genes activation.

## Abstract The results of calculations of the transition energies and polarization in nucleotide bases performed by the CNDO/S CI method are compared with experimental data for longβwavelength and vacuumabsorption bands. The calculations and the analysis of experimental data testify to the existen
## Abstract The circular dichroism of doubleβhelical nucleic acids was calculated using three different sets of wave functions for the purine and pyrimidine chromophores. Different wave functions give qualitatively the same types of spectra. Quantitatively, the differences are very substantial. How
The conformation of the DNA and the interactions of the nucleic acid with the protein in a complex of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) and a 19-mer/18-mer double-stranded DNA template-primer (dsDNA) are described. The structure of this HIV-1 RT complex with dsDN
