<div> <div> <div> <p>DNA carries the genetic code of life. Different conformations of DNA are associated with various biological functions. Predicting the conformation of DNA from its primary sequence, although desirable, is a challenging problem owing to the polymorphic nature of DNA. Although a few efforts were made in this regard, currently there exists no method that can accurately predict the conformation of right- handed DNA solely from the sequence. In this study, we present a novel approach based on machine learning that predicts A-DNA and B-DNA conformational propensities of a sequence with high accuracy (~95%). In addition, we show that the impact of the dinucleotide steps in determining the conformation agrees qualitatively with the free energy cost for A-DNA formation in water. This method enables us to examine the genomic sequence to understand the prospective biological roles played by the A-form of DNA. </p> </div> </div> </div>

Recently single molecule force spectroscopy has become an useful tool to study protein, DNA and RNA. However, very little attention was paid to homopolymer which plays an important role in many domains of science. In this paper we make the first attempt to decipher the free energy landscape of homopolymer using the external force as reaction coordinate. The impact of the quenched force on the free energy landscape was studied using simplified coarse-grain Go model. Similar to protein, we have obtained a clear switch from the thermal regime to force-driven regime. The distance between the denatured state and transition state in the temperature-driven regime is smaller than in the force-driven one.  Having a rugged free energy landscape without a pronounced funnel the homopolymer folding is much slower than that of protein making study of homopolymer very time consuming.

We are hopeful that our methodology can be employed on segments of the genomic sequence to understand the prospective biological roles played by the A-form of DNA.</p><p> </p><div> <br><div><div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
