Abstract excerpt
The crystal structure of d(CACACG).d(CGTGTG) was solved to a resolution of 2.05 A in space group P2(1). The duplex assumes the left-handed Z-DNA structure. The presence of two A.T base pairs in the hexamer does not greatly affect the conformation. The most significant changes compared with the regular structure of Z-DNA are in the values of twist in the central portion of the helix. This variation, as well as...
