Spontaneous and frequent conformational dynamics induced by A…A mismatch in d(CAA)·d(TAG) duplex

Abstract Base pair mismatches in DNA can erroneously be incorporated during replication, recombination, etc. Here, the influence of A…A mismatch in the context of 5′CAA·5′TAG sequence is explored using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, umbrella sampling MD, circular dichroism (CD), microscale ther...
