MODELING THE STACKING INTERACTIONS OF FLAVIN-MONONUCLEOTIDE WITH THE NITROGENOUS BASES OF DNA
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The mechanism of the interaction flavin-mononucleotide (FMN) with bases DNA and with fragment DNA were explored. The most probable structures complex FMN with bases, with pair of the bases and with fragment DNA have been calculated by means of semi- and nonempirical methods. Structures and thermodynamic parameters of complex FMN with pair of the bases DNA have been determined. The contribution of different physical-chemical forces of the interaction in stabilization complexes of molecules has been installed. Сonclusion about molecular mechanism of the interaction FMN with bases DNA has been made.

Keywords:
flavin-mononucleotide, bases DNK, semi- and nonempirical methods, dispersion interaction, intercalation
