Function of Magnesium Ions in the Formation of Biologically-Active Nucleic Acids Structures
 Espinoza Herrera, Shirly Josefina ; Štěpánek, Josef (advisor) ; Mašek, Vlastimil (referee) ; Setnička, Vladimír (referee)
ESPINOZA HERRERA S.J. - DOCTORAL THESIS - FUNCTION OF MAGNESIUM IONS IN THE FORMATION OF BIOLOGICALLY-ACTIVE NUCLEIC ACIDS STRUCTURES ____________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Interaction of magnesium ions, the divalent ions with the highest concentration inside living cells, with the key biomolecules of nucleic acids was studied with aim to find out structural details of the interaction mechanism and effect of the magnesium ions presence on the nucleic-acid structure and structural transitions. Raman spectroscopy was chosen as the main experimental method, some complementary measurements of UV absorption spectra were also performed. Basic analyses of the spectral series obtained as a function of temperature and/or for various concentrations of Mg2+ ions were done by means of factor analysis. Where possible the factor analysis outputs were used for fits of appropriate thermodynamic equations. For the studies, various nucleic-acid molecular models were employed, in particular complementary RNA homopolynucleotides polyA and polyU, DNA homopolynucleotides polydA and polydT and RNA 14-mer oligonucleotide representing the apical hairpin of the TAR segment of HIV-1 genomic RNA. We have confirmed via Raman spectroscopy that magnesium ions added to a solution of polyA-polyU...
