PhD topic / PhD position: Structure of parallel forms of nucleic acids studied by NMR spectroscopy...
Supervisor: Radek Marek
Annotation: The project is focused on detailed structural characterization of short purine oligonucleotides clipped by proper sequential motifs that induce parallel orientation of DNA strands. For this purpose, NMR experiments combined with MD simulations will be employed. The effect of modifications of selected nucleotides on the structural properties of designed models will be investigated to gain deeper understanding of key noncovalent interactions that contribute to the folding of such systems.
