The DNA dodecamer of (CGCGmo6AATCCGCG) containing 2'-deoxy-N6-methoxyadenosine has been crystallized for X-ray analysis in order to investigate the effects of the modified adenosine on base pairing. It has been found that the crystal changes from one form to another during data collection in a manner similar to a phase transition. The two crystal structures show that this phenomenon, ascribed to differences in humidity, is correlated with a change in the contact angle between the two duplexes.
含有2'-脱氧-N6-甲氧基腺苷的(CGCGmo6AATCCGCG)DNA十二聚体已结晶用于X射线分析,以研究修饰后的腺苷对碱基配对的影响。研究发现,在数据收集过程中,晶体以类似于相变的方式从一种形式转变为另一种形式。两种晶体结构表明,这种归因于湿度差异的现象与两个双链体之间接触角的变化相关。
