摘要
How easily can ions move in DNA channels? Three-dimensional free-energy landscapes for the movement of Na +, K +, and NH 4 + ions through G-quadruplex DNA channels have been obtained by molecular dynamics simulations. The computed results are in qualitative agreement with the limited experimental data: large K + and NH 4 + ions squeeze through the G-quartets with some difficulty, while Na + ions pass through with less impedance.
