Deoxydodecanucleotide heteroduplex d(TTTTATAATAAA). d(TTTATTATAAAA) containing the promoter Pribnow sequence TATAAT. I. Double-helix stability by UV spectrophotometry and calorimetry.

Abstract:

:Thermally induced structural transition in the d(TTTTATAATAAA) d(TTTATTATAAAA) heteroduplex is characterized by UV-spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. At low salt (less than 0.1 M) the occurrence of a cooperative transition in the lower temperature range, followed by a broad transition connected with small increase in absorbance is observed. At high salt (greater than or equal to 0.2 M) a single, monophasic transition appears. Linear dependence of the latter on log of salt concentration (dTm:dlogM = 14.2 degrees C) and of 1/Tm on log of oligomer concentration [derived therefrom delta H (v.H.) = 77.1 kcal/mole (duplex)] allows relating it to the melting of the heteroduplex helix. The non-cooperative transition, independent of oligomer concentration and similar to that of the single chain, was attributed to melting of short hairpin helices upon heteroduplex dissociation. Calorimetric enthalpy: 75.6 kcal/mole (duplex) proved significantly lower than predicted from known calorimetric data for poly[d(AT)] and poly d(A) X poly d(T).
