| Abstract | RecA first forms a filament on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), thereby forming the first site for ssDNA binding and, simultaneously, the second site for binding double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Then, the nucleoprotein filament interacts with dsDNA, although it can bind ssDNA as well. The resulting complex searches for homology sites and performs strand exchange between homologous DNA molecules. The interaction of various ssDNAs with the second DNA-recognizing site of RecA was studied by gradually increasing the structural complexity of the DNA ligand. Recognizing ssDNA with the second site, the protein interacts with each nucleotide of the ligand, forming contacts with both internucleotide phosphate groups and nitrogen bases. Pyrimidine oligonucleotides d(pC)$_{ n }$ and d(pT)$_{ n }$ interacted with the second site of the RecA filament more efficiently than d(pA)$_{ n }$ did. This was due to a more efficient interaction of the RecA filament with the 5′-terminal nucleotide of pyrimidinic DNA and to the difference in specific conformational changes of the nucleoprotein filament in the presence of purinic and pyrimidinic DNAs. A comparison of thermodynamic characteristics of DNA recognition at the first and second DNA-binding sites of the filament showed that, at n > 10, d(pC)$_{ n }$ and d(pN)$_{ n }$ were bound at the second site less tightly than at the first site. At n > 20, the second site bound d(pA)$_{ n }$ more efficiently than the first site. The difference in d(pN)$_{ n }$ affinity for the first and second sites increased monotonically with increasing n. Possible mechanisms of a RecA-dependent search for homology and DNA strand exchange are discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
