Dimensional analysis leads to various dimensionless parameters, wliieli are based on the dimension s mass (M), length (L), and time T). Based on these elements, one ean obtain various independent parameters sueh as density (p), viseosity (/i), speed (A ), diameter ( )), and veloeity (V). The independent parameters lead to forming various dimensionless groups, whieh are used in fluid meehanies of turbomaehines.

The DNA part of each control module can be divided into three main regions, the core or basal promoter elements, the promoter proximal elements and the distal enhancer elements (Figure 9.1). The best characterized core promoter element is the TATA box, a DNA sequence that is rich in A-T base pairs and located 25 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site. The TATA box is recognized by one of the basal transcription factors, the TATA box-binding protein, TBP, which is part of a multisubunit complex called TFIID. This complex in combination with RNA polymerase 11 and other basal transcription factors such as TFIIA and TFIIB form a preinitiation complex for transcription. 

Like Thr 124 and Thr 215, the Asn 69 and Asn 159 residues occupy equivalent positions in the two homologous motifs of TBP. By analogy with the symmetric binding of a dimeric repressor molecule to a palindromic sequence described in Chapter 8, the two motifs of TBP form symmetric sequence-specific hydrogen bonds to the quasi-palindromic DNA sequence at the center of the TATA box. The consensus TATA-box sequence has an A-T base pair at position 4, but either a T-A or an A-T base pair at the symmetry-related position 5, and the sequence is, therefore, not strictly palindromic. However, the hydrogen bonds in the minor groove can be formed equally well to an A-T base pair or to a T-A base pair, because 02 of thymine and N3 of adenine occupy nearly stereochemically equivalent positions, and it is sufficient, therefore, for the consensus sequence of the TATA box to be quasi-palindromic.

As found for other stacked base pairs, in the stacked thymine-thymine pair changes in the interaction energy upon rotation of one thymine unit are almost completely compensated for by solvation effects [99JPC(B)884].

The systems reported here are a single turn of B-DNA with G-C, A-T base pair sequence and the left handed Z-DNA with G-C base pair sequence. The B-DNA system is simulated for 4.0 psec and Z-DNA is simulated for 3.5 psec after equilibration. The simulation results are then analyzed for structural and dynamical properties. ... 

The system area A needed for batch or fed-batch operation can be calculated by using the formulas in Table 20-19 for production rates V(/t based on feed volume Vq and average fluxes during process steps. The final retentate batch volume Vr = Vq/X or permeate batch volume Vp = Vo(l — l/X + N/X) can be used to restate the production rate on other bases. Although experience can be used to estimate solute passage and process fluxes, they should be determined e3q)erimentally for each application. 

The influence of the electronic coupling on the electron transfer rate was determined by changing the length of the (A T)n bridge. As expected, the rate decreased as the number n of the A T base pairs between electron donor and electron acceptor increased [4, 7]. But, surprisingly, the exponential correlation of Eq. (1) between the rate kEr and the distance is not valid for short distances. The plots in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 show that at 6 A the electron transfer rate /cEt is much faster than expected [4, 7]. 

Similar results are described by K. Nakatani and I. Saito in their article of this volume. The distance effect is in accord with a single step charge shift between the guanines where the A T base pairs act as bridge that are not oxidized during the reaction, as described in the articles of J. Jortner, F.D. Lewis as well as D. Beratan and M. A. Ratner in this volume.

This almost distance independent hole transfer over (A T)n sequences where adenines are charge carriers is very surprising. Maybe the transfer of a positive charge between adenines of an (A T)n sequence is extremely fast, as recent calculations of M.D. Sevilla predicted [20], One could also speculate that the positive charge is delocalized over more than one A T base pair so that polaron hopping, which is discussed in this volume by G.B. Schuster as well as E.N. Conwell, might make the hole transport in oxidized (A T)n sequences very efficient.
