Abstract

The conformation of several oligodeoxynucleotides with alternating purine-pyrimidine sequences in aqueous salt solution has been studied by means of CD technique. Although the solution conditions should favor the Z-conformation, only C-G sequences are found in this structure. (G-C)n sequences with n up to 5 do not assume the left-handed conformation. The concatamer obtained with d(AT)3(CG)3 in high salt solution was found in B conformation whereas the concatamer obtained with d(TA)3(CG)3 in the same conditions showed alternating blocks of B and Z structures. The effect of base-stacking in this behavior is discussed.
