Abstract：
:We have synthesized and examined a number of fully and partly self-complementary palindromic oligodeoxynucleotides for their ability to assume in solution a unimolecular hairpin structure. The main results obtained by a combined optical and electrophoresis investigation show that: (i) DNA folding needs not be driven by mismatched base pairings over the dyad; fully self-complementary palindromic duplexes, comprising regular (CG)n DNA fragments, possess a considerable intrinsic propensity to make intramolecular base pairings; (ii) The duplex-hairpin interconversion is, in general, a slow process independent of the length and base composition of the palindrome; (iii) The palindromic sequences energetically least favored to form hairpin structures consist of C:G base pairs around the dyad axis and of T:A blocks in the arms of the inverted repeat; (IV) The base composition of the stem strongly influences the hairpin thermal stability. For instance, the substitution of one C:G with one A:T base pair in the stem helix of d(CG)7 diminishes the stability of the hairpin by 9 degrees C. It is found that the stability of the stem helix, in hairpins of defined sequence and with the same loop length, decreases in the order alternating-CG greater than homo-CG greater than AC(GT) greater than alternating-AT, i.e. as in polynucleotides. The thermodynamic parameters for the hairpin-coil transition are reported.
