Grooving
Definition:
(n.) The act of forming a groove or grooves; a groove, or collection of grooves.
Example Sentences:
(1) The ligands bind at discrete sites in the minor groove of DNA, and analysis on DNA sequencing gels show pronounced protection at the ligand binding sites, as well as more generalized protection.
(2) Recent reports have indicated the usefulness of nuclear grooves (clefts or notches) as an additional criterion for the diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma in fine needle aspirates; most of these studies were carried out on alcohol-fixed material stained with the Papanicolaou stain or with hematoxylin and eosin, which yield good nuclear details.
(3) Intermolecular contacts occur in both oligomers in the minor groove: in the B form through twisted guanine-guanine hydrogen bonding, and in the Z form through base-base stacking and the water network.
(4) The nogalose and aminoglucose sugars lie in the minor and major grooves, respectively, of the distorted B-DNA double helix.
(5) The AFB1 moiety is face-stacked in the major groove with its long axis approximately perpendicular to the helix axis.
(6) These results strongly indicate that metallobleomycin binds in the minor groove of B-DNA and that the 2-amino group of guanine adjacent to the 5' side of the cleaved pyrimidine base is one key element of the specific 5' G-C or G-T recognition by the bleomycin-metal complex.
(7) As a basis for the discussion a possible structure for the DNA complex of the phenylated neutral red is considered in which the extra phenyl ring at N-5 of the phenazinium system, protrudes into the large groove of the DNA helix while the tricyclic part of the ligand is inserted between the DNA base-pairs.
