A comparison is presented of the imino proton NMR spectra of the double stranded octamer d(GCGTTGCG).d(CGCAACGC) and the same octamer in which the two central thymine residues occur as a cis-syn thymine dimer. Except for the terminal base pairs all imino protons were detected and assigned in the NMR spectrum. The spectra show that in the thymine dimer duplex, contrary to common belief, all base pairs occur in a hydrogen bonded form, although the hydrogen bonds of the two central AT base pairs are substantially weakened. The melting temperature decreases about 13 degrees C on thymine dimer formation.
对双链八聚体d(GCGTTGCG).d(CGCAACGC) 及其两个中心胸腺嘧啶残基以顺式-顺式胸腺嘧啶二聚体形式存在的相同八聚体的亚氨基质子核磁共振谱进行了比较。除末端碱基对外,所有亚氨基质子均在核磁共振谱中被检测到并进行了归属。光谱表明,在胸腺嘧啶二聚体双链体中,与普遍看法相反,所有碱基对均以氢键形式存在,尽管两个中心AT碱基对的氢键被大幅削弱。形成胸腺嘧啶二聚体时,解链温度降低约13摄氏度。
