Essay

Object of investigation: mechanisms of influence of sugar-phosphate DNA backbone transitions on the structural and physical properties of DNA, which can be important for protein-DNA recognition. Methods of investigation: statistical analysis and methods of bioinformatics. Scientific novelty: data on the one of the mechanisms of indirect recognition, which is based on the changes of the structural and physical parameters of DNA at conformational transitions of the sugar-phosphate DNA backbone (namely gamma angle and conformation of deoxyribose). Practical meaning: application in biophysics, molecular biology and bioinformatics.
