  2. Locked nucleic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locked_nucleic_acid

    Chemical structure of an LNA monomer an additional bridge bonds the 2' oxygen and the 4' carbon of the pentose. A locked nucleic acid (LNA), also known as bridged nucleic acid (BNA), [1] and often referred to as inaccessible RNA, is a modified RNA nucleotide in which the ribose moiety is modified with an extra bridge connecting the 2' oxygen and 4' carbon.

  3. U2 spliceosomal RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U2_spliceosomal_RNA

    U2 snRNA is implicated in intron recognition through a 7-12 nucleotide sequence between 18-40 nucleotides upstream of the 3´ splice site known as the branch point sequence (BPS). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In yeast , the consensus BPS is 7 nucleotide residues in length and the complementary recognition sequence within the U2 snRNA is 6 nucleotides.

  4. Nucleic acid structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_structure

    Its favored conformation is at low water concentrations. A-DNAs base pairs are tilted relative to the helix axis, and are displaced from the axis. The sugar pucker occurs at the C3'-endo and in RNA 2'-OH inhibits C2'-endo conformation. [13] Long considered little more than a laboratory artifice, A-DNA is now known to have several biological ...

  5. Bridged nucleic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridged_nucleic_acid

    A bridged nucleic acid (BNA) is a modified RNA nucleotide. They are sometimes also referred to as constrained or inaccessible RNA molecules.BNA monomers can contain a five-membered, six-membered or even a seven-membered bridged structure with a "fixed" C 3 '-endo sugar puckering. [1]

  6. A-DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-DNA

    These A-B intermediate forms adopt the sugar pucker properties and/or the base conformation of both DNA forms. In one study, the characteristic C3'-endo pucker is found on the first three sugars of the DNA strand, while the last three sugars have a C2'-endo pucker, like B-DNA. [2]

  7. Reading frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_frame

    An open reading frame (ORF) is a reading frame that has the potential to be transcribed into RNA and translated into protein. It requires a continuous sequence of DNA which may include a start codon, through a subsequent region which has a length that is a multiple of 3 nucleotides, to a stop codon in the same reading frame.

  8. Triple-stranded DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple-stranded_DNA

    Triplex DNA structure. The arrows are going from the 5' end to the 3' end. (Triple-stranded DNA (also known as H-DNA or Triplex-DNA) is a DNA structure in which three oligonucleotides wind around each other and form a triple helix.

  9. Endomembrane system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endomembrane_system

    Those that reach the inside of the endoplasmic reticulum are folded into the correct three-dimensional conformation. Chemicals, such as carbohydrates or sugars, are added, then the endoplasmic reticulum either transports the completed proteins, called secretory proteins, to areas of the cell where they are needed, or they are sent to the Golgi ...
