Abstract
The left-handed helical conformation of various polynucleotides has been seen in solution at higher salt concentration than has the right-handed helical conformation of the corresponding polymer. We report here, however, studies of conformational transitions in the mixed polymer poly-(rG-dC) X poly(rG-dC). This polynucleotide appears to exist in a Z conformation under low-salt conditions, converts to an A helix at intermediate salt, and reverts to a left-handed helix at high-salt concentration.Entities:
