The hole transfer rates in the DNA/DNA B-form duplex and DNA/2'-OMeRNA A-form duplex were measured which occurred in the time range of approximately 100 micros. The hole transfer rates in the A-form duplexes were slower and more strongly dependent on the temperature compared to those in the B-form duplexes, suggesting that the A-form is more rigid than the B-form duplex in this time scale.
测量了DNA/DNA B型双链体和DNA/2'-O-甲基RNA A型双链体中的空穴转移速率,这些过程发生在大约100微秒的时间范围内。与B型双链体相比,A型双链体中的空穴转移速率较慢,且对温度的依赖性更强,这表明在这个时间尺度上,A型双链体比B型双链体更刚性。
