Abstract
Single crystals of the self-complementary octadeoxyribonucleotide d(GCCCGGGC) have been analysed by X-ray diffraction methods at a resolution of 1.8 Å. The tetragonal unit cell of space group P43212 has dimensions of a=43.25 Å and c=24.61 Å and contains eight strands of the oligonucleotide. The structure was refined by standard crystallographic techniques to an R factor of 17.1% using 1359 3σ structure factor observations.Keywords
