Abstract
A conformational study of the double-stranded decanucleotide d(GCCG*G*ATCGC) .cntdot. d(GCGATCCGGC), with the G* guanines chelating a cis-Pt(NH3)2 moiety, has been accomplished using 1H and 31P NMR, and molecular mechanics. Correlation of the NMR data with molecular models has disclosed an equilibrium between several kinked conformations and has ruled out an unkinked structure. The deformation is localized at the CG*G* .cntdot. CCG trinucleotide where the helix is kinked by approximately 60.degree. towards the major groove and unwound by 12-19.degree.. The models revealed an unexpected mobility of the cytosine complementary to the 5''-G*. This cytosine can stack on either branch of the kinked complementary strand. The energy barrier between the two positions has been calculated to be .ltoreq. 12 kJ/mol. The NMR data are in support of rapid flip-flopping of this cytosine. An explanation for the strong downfield shift observed in the 31P resonance of the G*pG* phosphate is given.This publication has 47 references indexed in Scilit:
