Times Cited Count:23 Percentile:57.59(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Clustered DNA damage sites induced by ionizing radiation have been suggested to have serious consequences to organisms. In this study, approaches based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulation have been applied to examine conformational changes and energetic properties of DNA molecules containing clustered damage sites consisting of 2 lesioned sites, 8-oxoG and AP site. After 1 nanosecond of MD simulation, one of the 6 DNA molecules containing a clustered damage site develop specific characteristic features: sharp bending at the lesioned site and weakening or complete loss of electrostatic interaction energy between 8-oxoG and bases locating on the complementary strand. From these results it is suggested that these changes would make it difficult for the repair enzyme to bind to the lesions within the clustered damage site and thereby result in a reduction of its repair capacity.

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.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:45.78(Biology)One nanosecond molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed for two DNA segments each composed of 30 base pairs. The analysis of results was focused on the electrostatic energy that is supposed to be significant factor causing the disruption of DNA base stacking in DNA duplex and may also to serve as a signal toward the repair enzyme informing on the presence of the lesion. This electrostatic potential may signal presence of the lesion to the repair enzyme.

Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:35.99(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of DNA mutagenic oxidative lesion 8-oxoG, complexed with the repair enzyme - hOGG1 was performed in order to describe the dynamical process of DNA-enzyme complex formation. After 500 picoseconds of MD the lesioned DNA and enzyme formed a complex that lasted stable until the simulation was terminated at 1 ns. The N-terminus of arginine 313 was located close to the phosphodiester bond of nucleotide with 8-oxoG enabling chemical reactions between amino acid and lesion. Phosphodiester bond at C5' of 8-oxoG was displaced to the position close to the N-terminus of arginine 313. The water mediated hydrogen bonds network was formed in each contact area between DNA and enzyme further enhancing the stability of complex.

The molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of DNA mutagenic oxidative lesion - 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), single and complexed with the repair enzyme - human oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (hOGG1), were performed for 1 nanosecond (ns) in order to determine structural changes at the DNA molecule and to describe a dynamical process of DNA-enzyme complex formation. The broken hydrogen bonds resulting in locally collapsed B-DNA structure were observed at the lesion site. In addition the adenine on the complementary strand (separated from 8-oxoG by 1 base pair) was flipped-out of the DNA double helix. In the case of simulation of DNA and repair enzyme hOGG1, the DNA-enzyme complex was formed after 500 picoseconds of MD that lasted stable until the simulation was terminated at 1 ns.
