Abstract excerpt
The human gene for cartilage oligomeric matrix protein contains five tandem repeats of the GAC trinucleotide. Its expansion by one repeat causes multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, while expansion by two repeats or, remarkably, deletion of one repeat causes pseudoachondroplasia. Here we used CD spectroscopy, PAGE and UV absorption spectroscopy to compare conformational properties of the DNA strands containing four,...
