95% N-15 enriched ribotetranucleotide GGCUp was prepared. Its aqueous solution gives three imino-proton resonances at 10.6, 12.0 and 13.6 ppm. The peak at 10.6 ppm split by N-15 into a doublet with coupling constant 90 Hz. On the preirradiation at this peak, the intensity of the 12.0 ppm peak decreased and the peak at 13.6 ppm remained unchanged. Therefore the 10.6 ppm peak was unambiguously assigned to the G imino proton and the 12.0 ppm peak to the U imino proton in the G:U base pair. By raising temperature the former two peaks coalesced at around 25 degrees C, while the signal of the G imino proton in the G:C pair was observed up to 35 degrees C. The G:U base pair seems to be disrupted first, then the break of the G:C pair is followed. Temperature dependences of the CH proton, N-15 and P-31 nuclei resonances were also measured.

D009841 Oligonucleotides Polymers made up of a few (2-20) nucleotides. In molecular genetics, they refer to a short sequence synthesized to match a region where a mutation is known to occur, and then used as a probe (OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBES). (Dorland, 28th ed) Oligonucleotide
D009843 Oligoribonucleotides A group of ribonucleotides (up to 12) in which the phosphate residues of each ribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the ribose moieties.
D013696 Temperature The property of objects that determines the direction of heat flow when they are placed in direct thermal contact. The temperature is the energy of microscopic motions (vibrational and translational) of the particles of atoms. Temperatures
