Hydrophobic Effect in Self-Assembly of Metal-Bound Nucleotides: A Structural Study of Iron-Nucleotide Ternary Complexes
The influence of hydrophobic microenvironments on the self-assembly and structural dynamics of nucleotides remains fundamentally elusive at the molecular level. Here, we establish a robust biomimetic platform utilizing a Fe(III)-nucleoside monophosphate-TPA ternary complex, where the bulky TPA ligand serves as a tail...
