A restrained least-squares refinement of the solution structure of the self-complementary B DNA hexamer 5'd(C-G-T-A-C-G)2 is presented. The structure is refined on the basis of 190 inter-proton distances determined by pre-steady-state nuclear Overhauser enhancement measurements. Two refinements were carried out starting from two initial B DNA structures differing by an overall root-mean-square (r.m.s.) difference of 0.32 A. In both cases, the final r.m.s. difference between the experimental and calculated inter-proton distances was 0.12 A compared to 0.61 A and 0.58 A for the two initial structures. The difference between the two refined structures is small, with an overall r.m.s. difference of 0.16 A, and represents the error in the refined co-ordinates. The refined structures have a B-type conformation with local structural variations in backbone and glycosidic bond torsion angles, and base-pair propellor twist, base roll, base tilt and local helical twist angles.

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).
