Abstract：
:Stability increments of terminal unpaired nucleotides (dangling ends) and terminal base pairs on the core helixes AUGCAU and UGCGCA are reported. Enthalpy, entropy, and free energy changes of helix formation were measured spectrophotometrically for 18 oligoribonucleotides containing the core sequences. The results indicate 3' dangling purines add more stability than 3' dangling pyrimidines. In most cases, the additional stability from a 3' dangling end on an AU base pair is less than that on a GC base pair [Freier, S.M., Burger, B.J., Alkema, D., Neilson, T., & Turner, D.H. (1985) Biochemistry 22, 6198-6206]. The sequence dependence provides a test for the importance of dangling ends for various RNA interactions. Correlations are suggested with codon context effects and with the three-dimensional structure of yeast phenylalanine transfer RNA. In the latter case, all terminal unpaired nucleotides having stability increments more favorable than -1 kcal/mol are stacked on the adjacent base pair. All terminal unpaired nucleotides having stability increments less favorable than -0.3 kcal/mol are not stacked on the adjacent base pair. In several cases, this lack of stacking is associated with a turn in the sugar-phosphate backbone. This suggests stability increments measured on oligoribonucleotides may be useful for predicting tertiary structure in large RNA molecules. Comparison of the stability increments for terminal dangling ends and base pairs, and of terminal GC and AU base pairs, indicates the free energy increment associated with forming a hydrogen bond can be about -1 kcal/mol of hydrogen bond.
