The four-stranded intercalated DNA structure exemplified by the oligonucleotide 5'-d(CCCCCCCCCCCC) (d(C)12) was studied at acidic pH by infrared absorption (IR) and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy and compared with spectra of the same oligonucleotide at neutral pH to establish distinct VCD markers for the intercalation motif. The most striking feature is a new absorption at 1694 cm(-1) and its corresponding VCD couplet with reversed sign. These are unique for the intercalated structure and have not been observed for other parallel stranded duplexes. Significant characteristic features resulting from the spatial arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbone are also clearly present for d(C)12 at acidic pH. An extensive network of CH...O bonds twists the backbone such that multiple through-space vibrational coupling occurs among neighbouring sugar-phosphate residues resulting in unusual VCD signals.

(McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Circular Dichroism, Vibrational,Dichroism, Circular,Vibrational Circular Dichroism
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004264 DNA Topoisomerases, Type I DNA TOPOISOMERASES that catalyze ATP-independent breakage of one of the two strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strand through the break, and rejoining of the broken strand. DNA Topoisomerases, Type I enzymes reduce the topological stress in the DNA structure by relaxing the superhelical turns and knotted rings in the DNA helix.
