Effect of a mechanical tension on the hydration of DNA in fibres.

Abstract:

:Fiber X-ray diffraction and measurement of fibre dimensions yield information about the effects of a mechanical tension on hydration of DNA in fibres. At a given relative humidity, the mechanical tension changes the DNA conformation but does not modify the number of water molecules associated to a nucleotide. The number of water molecules per nucleotide necessary to maintain B form decreases for increasing tensions applied to the DNA fibre. Form transitions can be opposed by mechanical tensions; an energy of 1 Kcal per mole of nucleotide pairs is sufficient to prevent the B to A transition.
