Molecular dynamics of 8-oxoguanine lesioned B-DNA molecule; Structure and energy analysis

Pinak, M.; O'Neill, P.*; Fujimoto, Hirofumi; Nemoto, Toshiyuki*

The multiple nanosecond molecular dynamics simulations of DNA mutagenic oxidative lesion - 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), complexed with the repair enzyme - human oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (hOGG1) in a physiological aqueous environment, were performed in order to describe the structural and energy changes in DNA and the dynamical process of DNA-enzyme complex formation. In complex the N-terminus of arginine 324 was found located close to the phosphodiester bond of the nucleotide with 8-oxoG enabling chemical reaction(s) between the amino acid and the lesion. The recognition of lesion on DNA, its recognition by repair enzyme and the formation of stable DNA-enzyme complex are necessary conditions for the onset of the successful enzymatic repair process.
