Abstract:
:We have determined the three-dimensional structure of a non-selfcomplementary nonanucleotide duplex which contains an abasic (apyrimidinic) site in the centre, i.e. a deoxyribose residue opposite an adenosine. The majority of the base and sugar proton resonances were assigned by NOESY, COSY and 2DQF spectra in D2O and H2O. We have measured the initial slope of buildup of NOEs in NOESY spectra at very short mixing times (25 to 50 ms), and from these were able to establish interproton distances for the central part of the duplex. We propose a different strategy for proton-proton distance determinations which takes into account the observed variations in correlation times for particular proton-proton vectors. A set of 31 measured interproton distances was incorporated into the refinement of the oligonucleotide structure by molecular mechanics calculations. Two structures were obtained which retain all aspects of a classical B DNA in which the unpaired adenine and the abasic deoxyribose lie inside the helix. We observe that the non-hydrogen bonded adenine is held well in the helix, the Tm of this base being the same as that of the A.T base pairs in the same duplex.
