NMR Studies of DNA Structure and Dynamics
During the 35th session of the Global NMR Discussion Meetings on Zoom, Dr. Bharathwaj Sathyamoorthy, IISER Bhopal, India, gave a talk on the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) studies of DNA structure and dynamics.
Abstract: Characterizing conformational preferences of biomolecules is essential to understand their function. NMR spectroscopy has been instrumental in unravelling the conformational polymorphism of DNA and sequence-specific signatures, both of which are critical for their function. This talk shall describe the journey over the past five decades towards our current understanding of DNA structure and dynamics obtained from solution-state NMR spectroscopy.
