Extrahelical adenosine stacks into right-handed DNA: solution conformation of the d(C-G-C-A-G-A-G-C-T-C-G-C-G) duplex deduced from distance geometry analysis of nuclear Overhauser effect spectra. 1986

D Hare, and L Shapiro, and D J Patel

This paper reports on features of the three-dimensional structure of the d(C-G-C-A-G-A-G-C-T-C-G-C-G) self-complementary duplex (designated adenosine 13-mer), which contains symmetrical extrahelical adenosines in the interior of the helix. The majority of the protons have been assigned from two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect (NOESY) spectra of the adenosine 13-mer in H2O and D2O solution. The measurement of NOESY cross-peak volume integrals as a function of mixing time has yielded a set of 96 short (less than 4.5-A) proton-proton distances defined by lower and upper bounds, which have served as input parameters for a distance geometry analysis of one symmetric half of the adenosine 13-mer duplex. We demonstrate that the extrahelical adenosine stacks into the duplex for all refined structures without disruption of base pairing on either side of the modification site. The distance geometry refinement yields two classes of conformations consistent with distance measurements but which differ in orientation of the stacked extrahelical adenosine at the modification site.

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).

D000241 Adenosine A nucleoside that is composed of ADENINE and D-RIBOSE. Adenosine or adenosine derivatives play many important biological roles in addition to being components of DNA and RNA. Adenosine itself is a neurotransmitter. Adenocard,Adenoscan
