摘要: The crystal structures of the synthetic self-complementary octamer d(G-G-T-A-T-A-C-C) and its 5-bromouracil-containing analogue have been refined to R values 20% 14% at resolutions 1·8 2·25 A, respectively. molecules adopt an A-DNA type double-helical conformation, which is minimally affected by forces. A detailed analysis structure shows a considerable influence nucleotide sequence on base-pair stacking patterns. In particular, electrostatic interactions between adjacent guanine thymine bases produce symmetric bending double helix major-groove widening. sugar-phosphate backbone appears be only slightly base sequence. local variations in orientation are brought about correlated adjustments torsion angles glycosidic orientation. Sequence-dependent conformational observed here may contribute specificity certain protein-DNA interactions.
