Solution structure of a selectively 13C-labeled intramolecular DNA triplex. 1995

The three-dimensional structure of an intramolecular triple helix whose three strands have been linked by a hexaethylene glycol chain, and selectively 13C-enriched in position C1' on the third strand was investigated by NMR spectroscopy and constrained molecular mechanics calculations. Starting from different initial conformations, we show that the NOE constraints determined by the complete relaxation matrix calculation and iterative back-calculations allowed us to reach the same final restrained triple helix, taking into account implicitly the solvent effect. We conclude that this triplex adopted a B-type conformation rather than a A-type. The sugar pucker was found predominantly in the S-type conformation, in the range of C2'-endo geometry.

D003855 Deoxyribose 2-Deoxyribose,2 Deoxyribose
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).
