The paper presents results obtained in conformational analysis of homopolymeric four-stranded poly(dT).poly(dA).poly(dA).poly(dT) DNA helices in which the pairs of strands with identical bases are parallel and have a two-fold symmetry axis. All possible models of base binding to yield a symmetric complex have been considered. The dihedral angles of sugar-phosphate backbones and helix parameters, which are consistent with the minima of conformational energy for four-stranded DNAs, have been determined using the results of optimization of conformational energy calculated at atom-atom approximation. Potential energy is shown to depend on the structure of base complexes and on the mutual orientation of unlike strands. Possible biological functions of four-stranded helices are discussed.

D011089 Polydeoxyribonucleotides A group of 13 or more deoxyribonucleotides in which the phosphate residues of each deoxyribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the deoxyribose moieties. Polydeoxyribonucleotide
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).
