Characterization of the structural conformation adopted by (TTAGGG)n telomeric DNA repeats of different length in closed circular DNA.

abstract：:The closed loops within the proteins of the TIM-barrel fold family are analyzed and compared sequence- and structure-wise. The size distribution of the closed loops of the TIM-barrels confirms universal preference to the standard size of 25-30 residues. 3D structural RMSD comparisons of the closed loops and presentati...
