One- and two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect experiments demonstrate that a single hydrogen bond between a T imino proton and purine N3 is sufficient to hold the base pair dPu.dT in d(CGPuAATTTCG) by a Watson-Crick fashion rather than a Hoogsteen type. In addition, the dPu.dT base pair is well stacked with neighboring base pairs. The spin-lattice relaxation measurements at 30 and 35 degrees C of two decamers, d(CGPuAATTTCG) and d(CGAAATTTCG), reveal that the elimination of two single hydrogen bonds of dA.dT base pairs (due to the substitution of adenine for purine) in the sequence results in an increase in the overall imino proton exchange rate from 7 to 36 s-1 at the site of mismatch.
